Determining whether your home has asbestos in it before you move in or ahead of putting it on the market can be a tricky process when working with a home inspector alone. Home inspectors do not always report on asbestos or give comprehensive insights into abatement needs and asbestos removal costs, so it’s essential to understand what they will share and the next steps you’ll need to take to determine whether asbestos removal in Toronto is required. If you suspect your property has an asbestos risk, contact Canada’s asbestos removal experts at Canada’s Restoration Services. Our team will provide thorough inspections, support testing, and streamline your asbestos removal needs with reasonable costs, so you can take the next step with your home. 

Here is what you should know about what a typical house inspection with an inspector will or won’t tell you about asbestos, versus what you can expect when you work with Canada’s Restoration Services.

asbestos removal torontoRisk Level of Asbestos

There are more than one type of asbestos – serpentine (chrysotile/white asbestos) and amphibole (crocidolite/blue asbestos, amosite/brown asbestos, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite). The type of asbestos used, the amount of asbestos, and the kind of material the asbestos was used with will affect the risk level. Typically, under 1% of asbestos contamination is not required to undergo a whole abatement operation. But that’s not as simple to assess with a professional. 

Home inspectors may be able to use age and visual clues to determine whether there is an active risk of asbestos exposure. But because of safety concerns and a lack of industry-specific equipment, they often cannot get much closer to asbestos-containing materials without compromising the air quality. 

Cost of Asbestos RemovalCost of Asbestos Removal for Your Property

Even if a home inspector suspects asbestos, they will not provide you with a cost estimate for removal. This is where certified asbestos abatement companies step in. Our team can give you a clear breakdown of asbestos removal costs, which can vary depending on the location, amount of contaminated material, and the complexity of the removal.

Asbestos removal costs are dependent on a number of factors, including the type of asbestos on your property, the location, its state, and the ease of removal. At Canada’s Restoration Services, we pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing that allows property owners to receive the services they need to safely occupy that space.
