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 Thornhill boiler asbestos removal and Thornhill boiler pipe asbestos removal for all residential buildings. We are certified to remove all types of asbestos from your building, business office or commercial area.

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.

Local Asbestos Risks in Thornhill’s Commercial & Institutional Buildings

Thornhill’s mix of heritage storefronts in the Village, busy corridors along Yonge, Bathurst, and Centre Streets, and mid-century plazas near Steeles Avenue and Highway 7 means many properties were built or renovated between the 1950s and 1980s—an era when asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were commonly specified for fire resistance and thermal performance.

Typical ACMs we still encounter in Thornhill properties include:

  • Boiler and mechanical-room insulation in retail back-of-house areas, offices, and municipal 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 change and interiors are reconfigured for new brands or additions, hidden ACMs are often discovered in storage rooms, service corridors, and ceiling voids—precisely when disturbance risk is highest. Our abatement plans pair tight containment with scheduled work windows to protect adjacent suites and public areas.
