The Hidden Risk of Asbestos in Vermiculite Insulation
Vermiculite insulation was commonly used in attics and walls across Canada from the 1920s to the 1990s.
While not all vermiculite contains asbestos, much of it - especially the brand Zonolite® - was mined from sources known to be contaminated. If disturbed, this insulation can release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air.

Due to these hazards, all vermiculite insulation must be removed from commercial and residential properties across Vancouver professionally. We can safely remove asbestos in vermiculite insulation without putting anyone’s health at risk.

Our licensed technicians remove asbestos safely, following WorkSafeBC protocols. Waste is double-bagged and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities.

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.
