Why Asbestos Removal Is Crucial
Asbestos was in most building materials up until the late 20th century for its fire-resistant and insulating properties. Nowadays, it is recognized as a hazardous material when disturbed. Even the smallest amount of asbestos fibres released into the air can have lifelong health impacts. Such as:
- Health Risks: Long-term health risks of asbestos exposure may result in serious respiratory conditions.
- Regulatory Compliance: Failure to address asbestos risks may lead to fines or lawsuits, especially in workplaces or rental properties.
- Real Estate Value: Properties containing asbestos are more difficult to sell and often require mandated removal before being listed for sale.

The Dangers of Improper Asbestos Removal
Most importantly, it is not only unsafe but also, in many cases, illegal to remove asbestos by yourself or hire incompetent contractors. Poor removal attempts can result in:
- Allowing harmful fibres to be let loose in the air.
- Bring fines and penalties due to non-compliance with provincial regulations.
- Contaminate a wider area, increasing the cost of clean-up and remediation.
An insured and licensed company such as Canada's Restoration Services guarantees your project meets provincial asbestos management standards for the health of the occupants involved.
