Edmonton Asbestos Removal
Although it has not been a building or insulation material for quite some time, asbestos removal in Edmonton continues to be a valuable and necessary service for businesses, building owners and homeowners alike. The dangerous substance is a significant risk to people’s health, and the process for removing it is designed with safety in mind. Learn more below.
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a natural material made from a group of silicon metals. Stronger than steel, yet soft and malleable, this material is prized for its fire-resistant and insulative properties. It is also incredibly durable and resistant to decomposition, making it long-lasting and easy to work with. However, the shape of asbestos is particularly dangerous for humans, as it creates lightweight filaments that get lodged in our lungs. This causes asbestosis, which can lead to breathing problems and in some cases, death. A qualified and experienced team is necessary to perform Edmonton asbestos removal operations as a result.
Where Asbestos Removal is Needed & How It’s Done
Asbestos was a common building material for quite some time, meaning that you can find it in a variety of building materials. These materials include floor tiles, drywall compounds, stucco, drywall, concrete, insulation, attics and roofing shingles, among others. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to identify asbestos without the right knowledge and training, which is one small part of why professionals are required to assist in asbestos abatement in Edmonton.
Still, the need for professionals is obvious, as anyone with the proper training will be able to tell you. In fact, this is why the process of removal is government regulated and also why professionals must be licensed to do the work. The general process a company will follow during asbestos abatement includes:
- A detailed assessment of the building
- Collecting samples for analysis
- Analyzing the samples at an accredited laboratory
- Following a standardized and complete abatement process
- Disposing of the decontaminated chamber
This process is necessary to ensure the asbestos fibres are not spread around through the air or clothing or breathed by the people completing the removal. It also helps ensure that appropriate records are kept so that the process can be comprehensively completed in municipalities and provinces.

Asbestos Removal Made Easy
with Nationwide Restorations
You should not consider removing asbestos on your own. The material is very dangerous, and overexposure is not easily noticeable. In fact, asbestosis often doesn’t begin to have problematic effects for many years, sometimes between 10 and 25. Other diseases, like mesothelioma or lung cancer, can also occur long after the initial exposure. Instead, the best way to handle asbestos is to seek out qualified professionals with the right training and experience.
Nationwide Restorations provides several benefits to this service, including fast response times, efficient service and a comprehensive understanding of the steps that need to be taken to remove the material and get your life back to normal as soon as possible. We follow all government guidelines and use all the appropriate equipment. We can help you prepare documentation about any damages or losses you experienced as a result of the abatement and consult with your insurance if needed. Contact us today for the support you need.
