Edmonton asbestos questions, answered straight.
The questions we hear most from homeowners and property managers before starting a project.
What should I do if I think there is asbestos in my house?
Health Canada recommends hiring a professional to test for asbestos before any renovation, remodeling, demolition, or addition work. Testing confirms what you’re dealing with before any material is disturbed — contact us for a lab-tested assessment.
Where can asbestos be found in my home?
It’s impossible to identify asbestos by sight — the only reliable method is laboratory testing. It commonly turns up in cement, ceiling and floor tiles, insulation, and other building materials, especially in older homes.
Can I remove it from my home myself?
No — fibres become airborne easily, creating a serious health risk without proper containment and equipment. We handle abatement following Alberta’s guidelines across Edmonton and surrounding areas.
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals once valued for fire resistance and durability. Disturbed fibres become airborne and, once inhaled, are linked to serious respiratory disease. Read more on our blog, or contact us directly.
How much does asbestos testing cost?
A no-obligation consultation and estimate is free. Cost depends on the number of samples and scope of the suspected material — contact us for an exact quote for your property.
How long does an abatement project take?
Small residential jobs, like a single room, flooring, or ceiling tile, are often completed in a day or two. Larger commercial abatement projects are scoped individually after inspection.
Edmonton mold removal questions, answered straight.
The questions we hear most from homeowners and property managers before starting a project.
Can you get mold completely out of a house?
Mold spores can never be fully eliminated, but since mold needs moisture to grow, controlling moisture is the real fix. Clean-up without addressing the source almost always means it returns — we find and correct that source.
What's the best product to remove black mold?
For small areas, a mix of baking soda, white vinegar, and water works as a natural option; chemical mold removers and bleach work too. For larger black mold growth from water damage, professional remediation is the safer call.
How much should mold removal cost?
Edmonton averages run around $2,000, with typical rates of $10–$25 per square foot depending on the extent of growth and any structural replacement needed.
What other services do you provide?
Alongside mold remediation, we specialize in asbestos abatement across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and the surrounding area — often addressing both in the same project.
