Asbestos Mitigation

Mitigation is the process of safely isolating, sealing, or encapsulating asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) to prevent them from becoming airborne. This is different from removal — but equally important in protecting building occupants and meeting legal requirements.

Asbestos mitigation is commonly used in:

• Older buildings awaiting full renovation

• Tenanted properties with limited access

• Spaces where ACMs are stable but present

• Projects requiring phased or deferred abatement

We assess the condition and location of ACMs and recommend mitigation strategies such as containment barriers, encapsulation, or air monitoring — depending on the level of risk and use of space.

Our Mitigation Services Include:

• Site assessment and asbestos hazard evaluation

• Safe isolation or sealing of asbestos-containing materials

• Installation of negative air pressure systems

• Surface encapsulation with approved sealants

• Ongoing air quality monitoring (optional)

• Documentation for WorkSafeBC compliance

When Is Mitigation the Right Choice?

Mitigation is ideal when:

• Full asbestos removal isn’t immediately scheduled

• Renovations are staged in phases

• The ACM is in good condition but must be monitored

• You’re managing commercial tenant turnover or property transitions

It’s a flexible, safe solution that allows property use to continue while planning future removal. Our team ensures every mitigation plan is tailored to your building’s unique layout, occupancy, and budget.
