What is Asbestos?
Asbestos was once seen as a miracle material in the construction world — strong, fire-resistant, and cost-effective. It was widely used in homes, schools, office buildings, and industrial sites across Greater Vancouver, especially before the early 1990s. However, over time, extensive research revealed the hidden dangers of asbestos exposure. When disturbed, asbestos materials release microscopic fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and settle deep into the lungs. This exposure is now directly linked to serious illnesses like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer — often developing decades after the initial contact.
Today, any property built or renovated before 1990 may still contain asbestos in areas like drywall, ceiling textures, insulation, flooring, roofing, and even around plumbing systems. Unfortunately, many property owners aren’t aware of its presence until they plan renovations, demolition, or repairs. That’s why understanding the risks of asbestos — and acting early — is so important for protecting your health, your family, your tenants, or your employees.
At Vancouver Asbestos Removal™, we believe knowledge is the first line of defense. With over 20 years of certified experience, we help homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Greater Vancouver safely assess and remove asbestos from their buildings. Whether you suspect asbestos in your home, rental property, or commercial facility, our trained team is ready to provide trusted advice, certified testing, safe removal, and legal disposal. We follow strict WorkSafeBC regulations, ensuring your project is handled with the highest standards of safety and care.
Taking action today means creating a safer, healthier environment for tomorrow. Learn more below about how our asbestos removal services can help protect what matters most.
