Where Asbestos May Be Found
Asbestos was widely used in older buildings because of its heat-resistant and insulating properties. It may be found in materials such as insulation, vermiculite, vinyl floor tiles, pipe insulation, textured ceiling finishes, cement products, ceiling materials, and other building components.
Asbestos-containing materials can become a health concern when fibres are released into the air during disturbance, renovation, demolition, or deterioration. Laboratory testing is the proper way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos.
When Asbestos Testing May Be Needed
Asbestos testing may be recommended when purchasing, renovating, remodelling, or demolishing an older property, especially if suspect materials are damaged, exposed, or may be disturbed during work.
If an asbestos test confirms the presence of asbestos, removal or remediation should be completed by qualified asbestos contractors. These contractors are trained in proper containment, handling, removal, and disposal procedures.
