Port Credit’s mix of heritage main-street storefronts along Lakeshore Road, mid-century low/mid-rise buildings, and waterfront commercial spaces means many properties were built or renovated between the 1950s and 1980s—an era when asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were routinely specified for fire resistance and thermal insulation.
Typical ACMs we still encounter in Port Credit properties include:
- Boiler and mechanical-room insulation in retail back-of-house areas, offices, and waterfront facilities.
- 9″ & 12″ vinyl floor tiles with mastic in long-standing shops, restaurants, banks, and professional suites.
- Acoustic ceiling tiles, pipe wrap, and elbow mud in offices, schools, healthcare spaces, and community venues.
As tenants turn over and interiors are reconfigured for new brands and build-outs, hidden ACMs are often discovered in storage rooms, service corridors, and ceiling voids—precisely when disturbance risk is highest. Our team plans containment and scheduling to protect adjacent suites and public areas during work.
