What Percentage of Asbestos Requires Removal

The Government of Ontario has regulations that dictate how to respond to asbestos and when it needs to be removed. Asbestos-containing materials with over 0.5% contamination by weight must be removed. To assess the contamination levels of construction materials, schedule asbestos testing with Inch By Inch Inspections. If there is 0.5% asbestos or more, you can move forward with professional asbestos removal in Toronto.

Asbestos that is encapsulated or encased in a strong, solid material is considered non-friable. As the material deteriorates with contact or time, asbestos fibres become less tightly held together, eventually to the point where they are deemed friable and at risk of going airborne. Friable asbestos is more hazardous than non-friable asbestos. As such, it should be removed promptly and safely. Asbestos testing and inspections from a certified professional will help you identify any asbestos-containing materials before they are at risk of infesting the air. If there is friable asbestos on your residential or commercial property, contact Inch By Inch Inspections for asbestos abatement services.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Hiring a construction contractor to renovate my house for the first time, I was not familiar with any of the DSS-related requirements.  So, it was quite reassuring to find someone like Tony who is trustworthy and knowledgeable. I also needed a quick turnaround for the completed DSS report and Tony delivered (on time, as promised).  In short, Tony was great to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime.   

Richard, Toronto

Tony did an excellent job with inspecting the house. He was very knowledgable in his field and thorough with his inspection. He carefully and patiently looked at both the exterior and interior of the building. He pointed out the deficiencies, what the risks are and how to rectify them. He answered all of our questions and made sure that we understood them. He offered his expertise and help if we needed.
