Safe, Certified Lead Paint Removal Across Greater Vancouver
Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes and buildings throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland prior to the late 1980s. While durable, it poses significant health risks - especially to children and pregnant women - when it begins to chip, deteriorate, or is disturbed during renovations.
At Vancouver Asbestos Removal™, we specialize in the safe and certified removal of lead-based materials. Whether you’re upgrading an older property, starting a renovation, or managing a commercial site, our licensed team follows strict WorkSafeBC guidelines to test, contain, and remove lead hazards efficiently and responsibly.
We proudly serve the Greater Vancouver Area, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Delta, Coquitlam, Langley, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and nearby communities.
Lead Paint Removal for Homes, Rentals & Commercial Properties
We help homeowners, landlords, and property managers safely remove lead-based paint and materials from properties across the Greater Vancouver Area.
Whether it’s a single -family home, rental unit, apartment complex, or older commercial space - our certified team ensures every removal is done safely, thoroughly, and in full compliance with WorkSafeBC regulations.
We provide licensed lead abatement services for both residential and commercial buildings throughout Greater Vancouver.
From small renovation projects to full-unit upgrades or pre-sale clearances, we handle each job with care, professionalism, and a focus on health and safety from start to finish.
Why Lead Paint Was Used & Where It Still Lingers Today
Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes and buildings across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland until it was banned in the late 1980s.
Builders used it for its durability, moisture resistance, and smooth finish - especially in high-traffic or high-moisture areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and trim work.
Lead paint is most commonly found in:
Homes built before 1990 - including window frames, doors, baseboards, and walls.
Apartment buildings and rental suites - particularly in older units that haven’t been updated.
Commercial spaces - such as storefronts, offices, and older service buildings.
Public buildings - including schools, daycares, healthcare facilities, and government properties.
Though it may be hidden under layers of newer paint, lead can become dangerous when it begins to chip, peel, or is disturbed during renovations-putting people at risk of serious health issues, especially young children and pregnant women.
If your property contains lead-based materials, professional testing and removal is the safest step forward. Whether you’re a homeowner upgrading an older space or a property manager planning renovations, Vancouver Asbestos Removal™ delivers certified lead abatement services with safety and WorkSafeBC compliance at the core of everything we do.
Our Asbestos Abatement Process
1. Inspection & Lab Testing
We start with a professional site assessment and collect material samples. These are sent to a certified lab to confirm the presence and type of asbestos.
2. Containment & Preparation
We seal off affected areas using industry-standard containment systems and negative air pressure to protect surrounding spaces during removal.
3. Safe Removal & Disposal
Our licensed technicians remove asbestos safely, following WorkSafeBC protocols. Waste is double-bagged and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities.
4. Final Clearance & Report
A final inspection ensures the site is safe. We can arrange third-party air clearance testing and provide full documentation for your records or compliance.
Types of Asbestos-Containing Materials We Remove
Drywall and Joint Compound
In homes built before 1990, drywall and joint compound may contain asbestos. If walls are cut, sanded, or removed during renovations, asbestos fibers can be released into your home’s air. Our team is trained to safely handle and remove asbestos-containing drywall to keep your family safe.
Pipe Lagging and Pipe Insulation
Asbestos was commonly used to insulate pipes in older homes. The material, called pipe lagging, helps prevent heat loss but can release asbestos fibers if disturbed. We provide safe asbestos removal for pipe insulation to prevent exposure during plumbing repairs or renovations.
Black Mastic and Adhesives (Tile Mastic)
Black mastic is a glue often used to attach vinyl tiles and other flooring materials. Many older types of black mastic contain asbestos. Removing flooring without proper care can release harmful fibers. We use professional techniques to safely remove black mastic during asbestos removal projects in Vancouver.
Ceiling Tiles
Many ceiling tiles installed before the 1990s contain asbestos. If these tiles are cracked, damaged, or removed, asbestos dust can spread through your home. Our asbestos removal experts will assess and safely remove ceiling tiles to protect your indoor air quality.
Roofing and Siding (Including Asbestos Siding)
Asbestos was once added to roofing and siding products for durability. Today, old asbestos-containing roofing and siding materials can break down over time, releasing fibers. Our team safely removes and disposes of asbestos roofing and siding as part of our comprehensive asbestos removal services.
Other Materials We Remove
We also remove asbestos from other less common materials sometimes found in older Vancouver homes. These can include fiberboard, vermiculite insulation, boiler parging, asbestos duct tape, textured coatings, and more. If you are unsure about any material in your home, our asbestos removal experts can safely assess and handle it.
