If your home was built before the 1980s, it’s likely to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Used in building products like insulation, floor tiles, roofing, and pipes, asbestos was prized for its heat resistance and durability. However, when disturbed, asbestos fibers become airborne and pose serious health hazards, such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Our certified team ensures full compliance with federal, provincial, and municipal regulations, giving homeowners the confidence and peace of mind they need. Whether you need asbestos insulation removal or comprehensive abatement for other materials, The Attic Army is your partner in creating a safe and healthy living space.

Why Asbestos Abatement is Crucial for Your Home

The Health Hazards of Asbestos

Exposure to asbestos fibers is a significant health concern. When these microscopic fibres are inhaled, they can lodge in the lungs and cause severe conditions over time, such as:

  • Mesothelioma: A rare but aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs and abdomen.

  • Lung Cancer: Smokers exposed to asbestos face an even higher risk of developing lung cancer.

  • Asbestosis: A chronic lung condition resulting from scarring caused by asbestos fibers.

Even minimal exposure can lead to long-term health effects, making professional asbestos removal services essential for every homeowners to avoid these health conditions.

Compliance with Legal Standards

In Canada, asbestos management is strictly regulated. Homeowners must ensure that asbestos-containing materials are handled according to safety guidelines to avoid legal penalties. The Attic Army’s certified asbestos removal contractors follow all necessary protocols to ensure proper handling, containment, and disposal of hazardous materials.

Enhance Your Home’s Value and Safety

Removing asbestos not only protects your family’s health but also increases your home’s property value. Prospective buyers often demand asbestos-free certification, and many home renovation projects require asbestos testing and clearance before proceeding. The Attic Army provides detailed documentation and a clearance certificate to ensure that all renovation projects are approved and that your property is more marketable overall.

The Attic Army's Approach to Asbestos Abatement

Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection and Testing
Asbestos abatement involves a thorough inspection. Our certified inspectors examine your property to locate potential sources of asbestos-containing materials. Common areas include attic insulation (e.g., vermiculite or loose-fill insulation), popcorn ceilings and textured walls, vinyl floor tiles and adhesives, roofing shingles and exterior siding, as well as pipes and HVAC systems. The results of our testing allow us to plan a customized abatement strategy.
Step 2: Customized Abatement Plan
Based on inspection findings, our team develops a tailored plan to address the asbestos contamination in your home. This plan includes a comprehensive scope of work, a detailed timeline to minimize disruption, and transparent cost estimates with no hidden fees.
Step 3: Containment and Safe Removal
To prevent asbestos fibers from spreading, we set up airtight containment zones using heavy-duty plastic sheeting and industrial-grade materials. Our team wears personal protective equipment (PPE) throughout the process to ensure safety. Our experts use advanced techniques to safely extract asbestos, including:
Wetting methods: Reducing dust and airborne particles by dampening materials.
HEPA-filtered vacuums: Capturing fibers with high-efficiency filtration systems.
Specialized tools: Ensuring precision and safety during removal.
Step 4: Proper Disposal of Asbestos Materials
All asbestos-containing materials are sealed in approved, leak-proof containers and transported to licensed disposal facilities. We comply with all provincial and federal regulations for asbestos waste management, ensuring no risk to the environment or community.
Step 5: Post-Removal Cleanup and Air Testing
Once removal is complete, we clean the area using industrial HEPA vacuums and specialized equipment. A final round of air quality testing ensures that your home is entirely free of asbestos. You’ll receive a clearance certificate, certifying that your property is safe and asbestos-free.

Common Areas Where Asbestos is Found in Homes and Businesses Attic Insulation

Many older homes contain asbestos in attic insulation, particularly vermiculite or loose-fill insulation. Over time, this insulation can become brittle, releasing fibers into the air, which could lead to serious health problems if not addressed promptly.

Popcorn Ceilings and Textured Walls

Popcorn ceilings and certain textured paints often contain asbestos. Renovations or natural wear can disturb these materials, making professional removal necessary.

Vinyl Flooring and Adhesives

Vinyl floor tiles and adhesives commonly used in mid-20th century homes were reinforced with asbestos for durability. Cracked or damaged tiles should be addressed immediately.

Roofing and Siding Materials

Older roofs and exteriors may include asbestos shingles or cement siding panels, which require careful removal to avoid exposure.

Pipe and HVAC Insulation

Asbestos was used to insulate pipes, ducts, and HVAC systems in older homes. Prolonged exposure to damaged insulation can result in serious health risks.
