Asbestos Mitigation
Asbestos Mitigation Contractor in Vancouver
Minimize Risk. Stay Compliant. Protect What Matters.
Asbestos mitigation focuses on reducing exposure risks when full removal isn’t immediately possible or practical. Whether you’re managing a renovation timeline, dealing with budget constraints, or awaiting long-term remediation, mitigation offers a safe and effective solution to control asbestos hazards and ensure WorkSafeBC compliance.
At Vancouver Asbestos Removal™, we provide certified asbestos mitigation services for both residential and commercial properties across the Greater Vancouver Area, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Richmond, Delta, Langley, and surrounding cities.
01.
Asbestos Risk Assessment
We begin by inspecting the site to locate and evaluate asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Our team identifies any risks, assesses the condition of the material, and recommends the best mitigation strategy based on the building’s use and occupancy.
02.
Containment & Encapsulation
If removal isn’t the right approach, we seal or encapsulate the asbestos material to prevent fibre release. This includes installing containment barriers, air filtration systems, or applying approved sealants that safely lock fibres in place.
03.
Ongoing Monitoring & Documentation
We offer air quality monitoring, visual inspections, and provide all compliance documentation for WorkSafeBC or building management. This ensures ongoing safety and allows you to move forward with renovations, tenancy, or operations without risk.

What Is 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.

Our Abatement Process
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.
Containment & Preparation
We seal off affected areas using industry-standard containment systems and negative air pressure to protect surrounding spaces during removal.
Safe Removal & Disposal
Our licensed technicians remove asbestos safely, following WorkSafeBC protocols. Waste is double-bagged and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities.
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.
