Our #1 priority is keeping you, your family and co-workers safe. Based in Victoria BC we service the Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast area, conducting hazardous material surveys as well as asbestos inspections and removal services. Is there a chance that your home or building could be affected by the dangers of asbestos or other hazardous materials? Let us take care of the home, office, and people who are so important to you. What is the danger? Asbestos is described as a hidden killer because it's impossible to identify without proper analysis. Asbestos fibres are extremely fine and can remain suspended in the air for hours. Exposure is the danger If not handled correctly, homeowners and workers are in danger of inhaling asbestos in the air. Asbestos-related diseases If an exposure occurs, serious chronic health problems such as asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer can occur. These diseases take years to develop and do not affect you immediately when you're exposed to asbestos. And it's too late for corrective treatment once these diseases have been diagnosed. You should protect yourself immediately.
