Because Asbestos floor tiles were so effective and durable, it appears virtually everywhere in Southern Ontario. It is still being found in homes, businesses and institutions like schools and hospitals.

Usually, asbestos floor tiles came in a 9’x9’ piece tile, it also came in asbestos sheets or vinyl sheeting.

Asbestos was also commonly used in boiler and boiler pipe insulating materials prior to 1980. We provide Essex boiler asbestos removal and Essex boiler pipe asbestos removal for all residential buildings.

Information About Asbestos

We follow a systematic approach to asbestos abatement, ensuring that every project is handled with care, precision, and safety.

  1. Initial Inspection: Our team will assess your commercial property to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) such as insulation, floor tiles, and pipe wraps. This allows us to develop a customized removal plan tailored to your building’s specific needs.
  2. Containment and Preparation: To ensure that asbestos fibers are not released into the air, we establish a secure containment area around the removal site. Our team uses plastic sheeting and specialized equipment to isolate the work area and ensure the safe handling and removal of asbestos materials.
  3. Safe Removal: We utilize advanced tools and certified techniques to safely remove asbestos-containing materials. Whether it’s Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 asbestos removal, our team ensures that all asbestos is carefully removed without contaminating the rest of the building.
  4. Transportation and Disposal: As a fully licensed and MECP-certified company, we handle the transportation and disposal of asbestos to approved waste facilities in Ottawa. We provide shipping documents for your records and comply with asbestos regulations, ensuring your business stays compliant.
  5. Final Inspection and Cleanup: After the asbestos has been removed, we perform a final inspection to ensure that no hazardous materials remain. Our team will also thoroughly clean the area, leaving your space safe, clean, and ready for continued use.

Local Asbestos Risks in Essex’s Commercial & Institutional Buildings

Essex has a mix of historic main-street buildings along Talbot Street, neighbourhood plazas, office space, and community facilities serving residents across the town. Many of these commercial and institutional properties were built or upgraded between the 1950s and 1980s, when asbestos-containing materials were widely used in construction and mechanical systems.

During that time, asbestos-containing materials were commonly used for:

  • Boiler and mechanical room insulation in commercial buildings and public facilities
  • Floor tiles and mastics in long-term retail, office, and service occupancies
  • Acoustic ceiling tiles and pipe wraps in offices, schools, clinics, and municipal buildings

Because many Essex properties have been repurposed—from small-town retail to professional offices, medical uses, and public services—there are often hidden ACMs behind walls, above suspended ceilings, and in back-of-house corridors, only discovered when renovation, fit-outs, or demolition work is planned.

Essex Areas & Business Districts We Serve

We provide commercial asbestos and insulation removal throughout Essex, including:

  • Downtown Essex (Talbot Street corridor) – historic mixed-use main-street buildings with retail at grade and offices or services above
  • Essex Centre commercial streets – professional offices, restaurants, banks and local service businesses surrounding the core
  • Highway 3 commercial strip – plazas, roadside commercial buildings, restaurants and small office complexes serving local and regional traffic
  • Community and institutional properties – municipal offices, libraries, schools, churches and community centres that may still contain legacy asbestos insulation and finishes

Whether you manage a storefront on Talbot Street, operate a clinic or professional office, or oversee a municipal or institutional facility in Essex, we can complete asbestos inspections, abatement and clearance so your staff, visitors and tenants stay safe—and your property stays compliant.
