Three Levels of Asbestos Removal (Ontario, Ottawa & Montreal)
- Type 1
- Type 2
- Type 3
The majority of asbestos removals fall under Type 2 or 3. However, smaller projects, such as Asbestos Register Vent Removal, fall under the Type 1 Category, as the affected area is only 1 sq. ft.
Two Levels of Asbestos Removal (Edmonton, Calgary & Vancouver)
- Low Risk
- High Risk
A High-Risk Asbestos Removal job requires daily air monitoring throughout the process, performed by third-party hygienists to ensure compliance and prevent conflicts of interest.
Method of Asbestos Removal
- Glove Bag Removal – Typically used around pipes and ductwork, executed with localized containments.
- Full Containment Removal – Used in the majority of asbestos removal projects, where entire rooms are sealed off and asbestos is safely removed.
For older buildings, regulations require a DSS (Designated Substance Survey) before any renovation or demolition project begins. This survey determines if asbestos abatement services are necessary.
