Vancouver Asbestos Testing - Commercial & Residential
Asbestos Testing in Vancouver
Certified. Trusted. Safety First.
Older buildings across the Greater Vancouver Area may still have asbestos hidden in walls, ceilings, floors, or insulation. Asbestos becomes a serious health risk if it’s disturbed — which is why testing is so important before any renovation, demolition, or property sale.
At Vancouver Asbestos Removal™, we offer reliable asbestos testing services to help you find out exactly where asbestos may be in your home, rental, or commercial building — all while following WorkSafeBC rules to keep everyone safe.
We serve the Greater Vancouver Area, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Delta, Coquitlam, Langley, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and nearby cities.

Why Asbestos Testing Matters — And Where It's Often Hidden
sbestos was commonly used in homes and buildings built before 1990 — especially in insulation, drywall mud, ceiling textures, pipe wrap, and floor tiles. While it was praised for its fire resistance and durability, we now know it’s a major health hazard when disturbed.
You can’t see or smell asbestos. It takes professional testing to detect it safely.
These materials may contain asbestos:
Textured ceilings – including popcorn ceilings and stipple
Drywall joint compound – seams and wallboard finish
Vinyl floor tiles & adhesives – especially 9×9 tiles
Duct and pipe insulation – wrap, lagging, and tape
Roofing felt and shingles – in older homes or sheds
Cement board – used in siding, eaves, and basement walls
If you’re planning renovations, demolition, or just want peace of mind — Vancouver Asbestos Removal™ provides reliable, certified asbestos testing in the Greater Vancouver Area.
Our testing helps homeowners, contractors, and realtors move forward safely — with trusted lab results and full documentation for any next steps.
