Enviro Vac™ Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos Abatement PDF link to: WCB Notice - Renovation or Restoration Projects

Asbestos is used in many common building materials including sprayed on insulation, fireproofing and soundproofing in literally tens of thousands of buildings across Canada. It is used in schools, offices, warehouses, sports arenas, airport terminals and many other private and public structures. Millions of Canadians are endangering their health by breathing asbestos-laden air, unaware of their daily contact. It has been known for 45 years that asbestos is a carcinogen, a cancer causing agent that creates fibrous changes and scarring in lung tissue. While the latency period for asbestos-induced lung cancer is 15-30 years, most victims die within two years of the first symptom. But lung cancer is not the only hazard associated with asbestos. Physicians are now seeing cancers caused by asbestos fibers that have migrated to other parts of the body.

The obvious solution is to render our collective environments as free from the dangers of asbestos as is possible. From the first site inspection, to the final disposal of the hazardous material, Enviro-Vac™ can provide all services associated with asbestos abatement.
