Asbestos Abatement in the GTA and Surrounding Areas
Safe, Certified & Professional Asbestos Removal for Your Home or Business
If your property in the GTA and surrounding areas was built before the mid-1990s, there is a strong chance it contains asbestos. Commonly hidden in basement insulation, floor tiles, drywall, and heating pipes, asbestos poses a serious health risk only when it becomes damaged or disturbed (friable) and airborne.
At Supreme Basements, we specialize in professional asbestos abatement across the GTA and surrounding areas. We handle everything from the initial inspection to containment and safe disposal—giving you absolute peace of mind.
Why Professional Asbestos Removal is Essential
Attempting to remove asbestos yourself or hiring uncertified contractors can release microscopic fibres into the air. Once inhaled, these fibres can cause severe long-term health complications, including:
- Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs)
- Mesothelioma (a rare cancer affecting the lining of the lungs or abdomen)
- Lung Cancer
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Safety First: The Ministry of Labour regulates asbestos removal in Ontario. Our certified technicians strictly follow all provincial health and safety guidelines to ensure your family, tenants, or employees are fully protected.
Our 7-Step Asbestos Abatement Process
We do not cut corners. Our team uses industry-leading containment and wet removal methods to ensure your air quality is perfectly clear before we leave.
We identify the precise location, type, and extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your basement or on your property.
We notify the relevant provincial authorities where required and design a comprehensive site-specific work plan based on the assessment.
We build a dedicated decontamination area for our workers to safely clean themselves and their specialized equipment before leaving the workspace.
Using heavy-duty plastic sheeting and industrial negative-pressure systems, we completely seal off the work zone to prevent airborne fibres from escaping into the rest of your home.
We carefully saturate the materials using specialized wetting agents. Removing the asbestos while wet minimizes fibre breakage. All debris is instantly packed into leak-tight, clearly labelled bags.
The sealed asbestos waste is securely transported from your property to an approved, licensed hazardous waste disposal site in Ontario.
We thoroughly vacuum the entire area using specialized HEPA filters and perform rigorous air monitoring and clearance testing to verify the space is 100% safe to re-enter.
Frequently Found Sources of Asbestos in Basements
- Duct & Pipe Insulation: Often wrapped around older heating systems or boiler lines.
- Vinyl Floor Tiles & Adhesives: Popular in 9×9 inch basement floor layouts from the 50s-80s.
