Asbestos removal that is categorized as “High Risk”

20160502_152938 To remove asbestos (vermiculite) from this heritage home attic we needed to create a 3 stage decontamination containment. You can see the plastic (2 * 6m poly wall) going right into the attic. This allows us to contain any potential contamination of the home while work is taking place.

Asbestos containing waste is stored in an enclosed and locked bin and is then transported to Heartland via a licensed commercial carrier along with a waste transport manifest.

Canadian HAZ-MAT Environmental Ltd.is an independent Victoria BC based asbestos abatement company with a strong focus on education and improving public awareness of the dangers associated with asbestos. We support banning inappropriate uses of asbestos as a cause that pretty much anyone can get behind. We strongly believe Canada needs to build financial incentives (effective forms of subsidization) into the identification, abatement and disposal of asbestos from Canadian homes and businesses if we are to effectively address this problem.
