Professional Asbestos Removal in Toronto and Greater Toronto Area
Safe Asbestos Removal in Toronto
In Toronto, buildings constructed before the early 1990s may contain asbestos in various materials such as:
- Drywall compound
- Ceiling stipple, i.e. popcorn
- Duct insulation wrap
- Floor and acoustical ceiling tiles
- Wrap around register boots and floor vents
- Water pipes.
At Go Pro Restoration Inc., we are fully equipped and certified to handle all types of asbestos removal in Toronto, ensuring the safety of your residential or commercial property.
Our certified Toronto team provides comprehensive services, including:
- The use of negative air machines and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) scrubbers
- Asbestos testing at an accredited laboratory to ensure accurate detection
- Comprehensive asbestos removal for Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 asbestos abatement operations following O. Reg 278/05
Asbestos materials are hazardous when disturbed, as their crystalline structure can degrade and release microscopic fibers into the air. Inhaling these fibers can lead to severe health issues, such as lung cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to address any asbestos concerns promptly with the help of a qualified asbestos removal company.
