Asbestos & Hazardous Material Inspection & Test

About the Product

Many homes and buildings built before the early 1990s in British Columbia contain materials that may include asbestos, lead paint, or other hazardous substances. Whether you’re planning to remove drywall, flooring, insulation, or ceilings, BC regulations require a hazardous materials inspection before work begins — especially if you're applying for a permit.

Our team coordinates a site-specific inspection with a qualified HazMat professional who will visually assess your space and collect representative samples for certified lab testing. You'll receive a formal report identifying any high-risk materials, so you can plan your renovation safely and legally.

This service is ideal for homeowners, property managers, or commercial clients who want to avoid costly stop-work orders and protect everyone involved in the project.

What’s Included?

• On-site visual inspection by a qualified technician
