Asbestos Testing & Abatement

Certified Asbestos Testing for Homes, Businesses, and Industrial Sites

Asbestos was once widely used in Canada’s construction industry due to its durability, strength, and fire-resistant properties. However, it was later discovered that when asbestos-containing materials deteriorate or are disturbed, microscopic fibres can be released into the air. When inhaled, these fibres may cause serious, chronic, and potentially fatal health conditions. As a result, Canada has implemented strict regulations governing the identification, removal, and disposal of asbestos.

At On Call Restoration, we provide certified asbestos testing and abatement services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. We proudly serve communities across Ontario, including Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, Belleville, Trenton, Peterborough, and the Durham Region. Our highly trained professionals are fully equipped to secure indoor environments, restore safety, and help you move forward with confidence.

Understanding Where Asbestos May Still Be Present

Although asbestos has not been used in new construction for decades, thousands of properties across Canada still contain asbestos materials. In many cases, property owners are unaware of its presence until renovations, restoration work, or structural damage expose the material. Asbestos fibres cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, making them a silent yet serious health hazard if not properly identified and managed.

Asbestos may be present in:

• Floor and ceiling tiles
• Drywall joint compounds
• Insulation of attics, pipes and walls.
• Shingles, siding and cement board on the roof.
• Fireproofing sprays and sound ceiling textures.
• Boilers, furnaces and HVAC elements.

Even as minor as drilling, cutting, or demolition may be, it emits harmful fibres into the air. For this reason, asbestos testing is a critical and often mandatory step before any major renovation, restoration, or structural remodelling—particularly in older buildings throughout Canada.

Accurate Examination to Complete Peace of Mind

There is no safe abatement project that does not start with proper testing. We have certified technicians who do professional surveys using special tools and safe collection procedures. Samples of materials are sent to certified labs where they are tested and identified to contain or not contain asbestos, and in what quantity.

The process of testing we conduct offers:

• Laboratory analysis.
• Efficient communication before work.
• Ontario Regulation 278/05 regulatory compliance.
• Complete documentation to the owners, the insurers and the contractors.
• An active and managed risk prevention strategy.

We ensure that all required testing procedures are carried out while safeguarding occupants and minimising any unnecessary disruption.

Premium Abatement Services by Certified Ontario Specialists

After asbestos is detected, the second important step would be professional removal. Our staff is well-trained in the Canadian abatement codes, and they work with the latest technology to bring out maximum safety in all stages of the undertaking.

We implement:

• HEPA Filtration negative-air machines.
• Polyethene barriers of sealed areas.
• Monitoring of the air to make sure there are no high levels of fibre.
• Special decontamination rooms to serve the safe exit of personnel.
• Complete PPE and disposal that is industry-approved.

We comply with all federal and provincial regulations to ensure a safe working environment while protecting your property throughout the abatement process.

A Customised Abatement Plan for Every Property Type

No two buildings are the same, and neither are their restoration needs. Once testing is complete, we develop a tailored abatement plan based on the property layout, occupancy requirements, and level of risk. This comprehensive strategy includes:

• In-situ inspection and identification of hazards.
• Measurement of volumes of asbestos-containing materials.
• Suggestions are either removal or safe encapsulation.
• Urgent and risk-level scheduling.
• Complete coordination with the insurance and restoration partners.

This is because we explain the whole process, and the property owners are at ease with what to expect during the project.

Certified Asbestos Removal with Post-Clearance Verification

During the removal stage, our containment and handling systems prevent fibre dispersion and ensure the safety of everyone on-site. All waste is securely packaged, labelled, and transported to licensed Ontario disposal facilities. Upon completion, our clearance team conducts extensive air sampling to confirm that the space has reached safe re-entry levels.

We do not treat the completion of any project until it is indoors to the standards of the Canadian indoor air quality and is given a full acceptance by a qualified inspector.

Contents Restoration — Protecting More Than Property

Once asbestos abatement is complete, we restore your space to its original condition—or better. Our content restoration services include:

• Close examination and listing of all the affected items.
• Cleaning and deodorising of objects by a professional.
• Secure storage and transportation during the restoration process.
• Remark or rehabilitate restorable work through special machinery.
• Cleaning and restoration of damaged property are reinstated after the property is safe.

We handle things with the highest respect and care as we understand that possessions are part of your story. We save the most important things when they can be restored.
