Commercial Asbestos Removal

Commercial Asbestos Removal & Abatement

Commercial asbestos removal helps businesses safely manage asbestos-containing materials during repairs, renovations, or demolition. GTA Restoration provides asbestos removal and abatement for offices, condos, warehouses, industrial sites, schools, and other commercial properties throughout Toronto and the GTA.

First, we review the affected materials and planned work. Then, we determine the proper work procedures based on the material, its condition, and how the project may disturb it.

Commercial Asbestos Inspection & Testing

You cannot confirm asbestos by looking at a material. Therefore, suspected materials may need proper sampling and lab testing before workers cut, drill, remove, or disturb them.

For example, asbestos may be present in older insulation, ceiling materials, floor tiles, drywall compounds, pipe insulation, fireproofing, and other building products.

• Pipe and mechanical insulation
• Floor tiles and some flooring materials
• Ceiling tiles and finishes
• Drywall joint compounds
• Fireproofing and sprayed materials
• Boiler and duct insulation
• Other older building products

Commercial Asbestos Abatement

The asbestos abatement method depends on the material and the type of work. For this reason, different projects may require different work areas, equipment, and safety controls.

When required, crews can set up controlled work areas, remove asbestos-containing materials, clean the area, and prepare the waste for proper disposal.

Asbestos Containment & Negative Air

Some commercial asbestos removal projects require enclosed work areas and negative air pressure. As a result, crews can keep the work area separated from nearby spaces during removal.

Meanwhile, HEPA-filtered equipment may form part of the required controls for certain types of asbestos work.

Commercial Asbestos Removal Process

First, technicians review the affected materials and the work that needs to take place. Next, they prepare the work area and required controls.

Afterward, trained workers remove or handle the asbestos-containing materials using the required procedures. Finally, crews complete cleanup, waste handling, and other required project steps.

Asbestos Removal During Renovations

Renovation work can expose asbestos materials that were previously hidden. Therefore, suspected materials should be addressed before workers begin cutting, drilling, demolition, or other work that may disturb them.

If the project also involves water or moisture damage, our commercial water damage restoration team can help with related water cleanup and drying work.

Commercial Asbestos Removal for Property Managers

Commercial asbestos projects may involve property managers, building owners, tenants, consultants, contractors, and other trades. Therefore, clear communication helps organize access, work areas, schedules, and project records.

When authorized, GTA Restoration can record affected areas, removed materials, completed work, and other project details. In addition, we can coordinate our restoration work with other approved project representatives.

We provide commercial asbestos removal for offices, warehouses, condos, stores, schools, industrial sites, and other managed properties. Furthermore, larger projects may require asbestos abatement in several areas or stages.

Ontario Commercial Asbestos Requirements

Commercial asbestos abatement in Ontario may fall under Ontario Regulation 278/05. Therefore, the requirements depend on the material, type of work, and how workers may disturb the asbestos.
