Etobicoke's Trusted Asbestos & Remediation Specialists

Asbestos in Etobicoke Homes

Etobicoke's neighbourhoods — Mimico, Long Branch, Alderwood, Rexdale, Islington — were developed primarily between the 1940s and the 1970s. That puts an enormous proportion of the housing stock squarely in the era when asbestos was used as standard building material.

Asbestos was added to floor tiles, ceiling tiles, vermiculite attic insulation, pipe wrap, duct insulation, drywall joint compound, and exterior stucco. In an undisturbed state these materials are not immediately dangerous — but renovation, aging, or water damage can release fibres into the air where they become a serious health risk.

Why Etobicoke Homeowners Call Us

We've completed hundreds of projects in Etobicoke's post-war bungalows and wartime houses. We know what to look for in the 1950s split-level, the 1960s ranch, and the 1970s raised bungalow. Our assessors don't just check the obvious places — they check the cold-air returns, the pipe joints in the basement, the texture on the ceilings, and the attic insulation.

Same-day assessments are available. If you're mid-renovation and have found suspect material — stop work immediately and call us. We can visit the same day and tell you exactly what you're dealing with before any more disturbance occurs.
