Comprehensive Asbestos Abatement and Removal Services

Protect Your Home from the Hazards of Asbestos

Asbestos, a dangerous carcinogen, was commonly used in boilers and boiler pipe insulation materials in homes and buildings constructed prior to 1980. If your property contains boilers, HVAC systems, or older insulation, it’s crucial to have these materials inspected and, if asbestos is present, removed by licensed asbestos removal experts. Eco Metal Recycling specializes in residential asbestos abatement, ensuring your home remains safe and free from the risks posed by asbestos exposure.

 Our Asbestos Abatement Process

We provide professional boiler asbestos abatement and boiler pipe asbestos removal for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of the affected area, followed by the safe removal of all asbestos-containing materials. We must safely remove asbestos from the boiler and surrounding piping before proceeding with boiler dismantling or replacement. This two-step process ensures that your home remains protected from airborne asbestos fibers, which can pose significant health risks if disturbed.

Our certified team handles asbestos safely and efficiently, following strict MECP guidelines. Whether it's a single-family home or a multi-unit building, we use advanced safety protocols to remove asbestos and keep your environment clean.

 Certified Asbestos Removal Services

As a licensed and certified asbestos abatement contractor, Eco Metal Recycling offers Type 1 Asbestos Removal, Type 2 Asbestos Removal, and Type 3 Asbestos Abatement Services throughout Ontario. Each service level is tailored to the scope and risk of the asbestos removal required:

  • Type 1 Removal: Used for small, low-risk asbestos removal projects.
  • Type 2 Removal: Involves moderate-risk asbestos materials and requires additional precautions.
  • Type 3 Removal/Abatement: The highest risk level, typically used for large-scale asbestos removal or abatement projects in industrial or multi-level properties.

 Our team is highly trained and experienced, ensuring that all removal services are conducted safely and in compliance with Ontario asbestos abatement regulations.

Asbestos in Your Home: Where It's Found and Why Removal Matters

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals, including tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. These minerals form bundles of fibers, which are up to 700 times thinner than a human hair. Due to their durability and heat resistance, asbestos fibers were widely used in insulation and other building materials until the late 1970s and early 1980s. The most commonly used types of asbestos are Chrysotile (white asbestos) and Amosite (brown/off-white asbestos). Today, asbestos is classified as a hazardous material due to its health risks.

Where is Asbestos Found?

Asbestos is typically found in building materials used before 1981. Common places where asbestos may be present include:

  • Insulation (particularly around boilers and pipes)
  • Floor and ceiling tiles
  • Plaster and drywall
  • Roofing materials, such as cement roofing and shingles
  • Siding
  • Door gaskets
  • Textured ceilings (e.g., popcorn ceilings)

If you own or manage an older home or building, it’s critical to have it inspected by a certified professional to assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). If these materials are found, asbestos removal is often required to ensure the safety and compliance of the property.

When is Asbestos Dangerous?

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are generally considered safe when they remain intact and undisturbed. However, when asbestos fibers are released into the air—due to damage, renovation, or wear and tear—inhalation or ingestion of these fibers can become extremely harmful. Once airborne, these microscopic fibers can enter the body and accumulate in the lungs or digestive tract.

It's important to note that while asbestos exposure might not be immediately dangerous, over time it can lead to significant health risks. This is why it's essential to have asbestos-containing materials professionally assessed and, if necessary, removed by a certified asbestos abatement contractor.

For safe asbestos removal, contact Eco Metal Recycling—our team is fully certified and compliant with Ontario asbestos removal regulations, ensuring your property is safe and secure.
