Understanding Types of Asbestos Removal in Ottawa

There are different levels when it comes to dealing with asbestos removal in the Ottawa region, depending on the severity of your asbestos problem.

Low Risk

Minor non-destructive work involving materials in good condition. Ideal for small removals like isolated ceiling tiles or  wrap around HVAC duct work..

Moderate Risk

Applies to projects involving friable materials or more disruptive work, like removing drywall with asbestos compounds or using glove bags for insulation on pipes.

High Risk

Used for large-scale abatement involving demolition, crumbling insulation, or materials not removed prior to 1986. Requires advanced containment and air filtration procedures.

All abatement work is completed by licensed professionals following Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Why Asbestos Is a Health Concern

Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause:

  • Mesothelioma: a rare, aggressive cancer affecting the lining of the lungs
  • Asbestosis: chronic lung inflammation leading to scarring
  • Lung cancer: higher risk in smokers exposed to asbestos

Symptoms often don’t appear until years after exposure. That’s why timely testing and safe removal are crucial for your long-term health and peace of mind.

Our Certified Asbestos Removal Process

We follow a strict, proven process for all residential and commercial abatement projects:

  • Initial Inspection: Visual assessment and client consultation
  • Lab Testing: Samples sent to certified labs for verification
  • Risk Classification: Determining whether work is Type 1, 2, or 3
  • Containment Setup: Sealing off affected zones with negative air pressure
  • Safe Removal: Using PPE, HEPA tools, and containment procedures
  • Air Scrubbing & Decontamination: HEPA-filtered air purification
  • Final Clearance Testing: Ensuring air quality is safe before re-entry

Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained to the latest industry standards.

What Our Ottawa Clients Say

“ Go Pro Restoration removed damaged stipple ceilings containing asbestos from my condo apartment. After abating the old ceiling according to Ontario regulations, their technicians reinstated the ceiling as a flat, mudded, sanded, and painted ceiling.

My five-star review is based on the following factors:

The owner, technicians, and office manager were professional and friendly in all communications. I was very anxious about this complex project, and they answered my many questions fully and patiently every time. My wife appreciated that George (President) spoke with her to answer any question she had, while he was visiting our condo to prepare the estimate. (Other estimators we interviewed focused mostly on me.)

Go Pro Restoration’s cost estimate was competitive against other qualified contractors, and they demonstrated they had knowledge and experience with this type of project.

The work was completed one day ahead of schedule and according to the estimated price. Office manager (Jodi) kept me updated as the work progressed. This allowed me to accurately budget my accommodation costs during the work.

There was negligible cleanup for me after the project. (Only minor paint blots and some minor dust from sanding the new ceiling occurred. Go Pro Restoration was transparent these things could occur, and from my experience in renovating several properties, they are unavoidable.)

I would work with Go Pro Restoration again in the future.”

Common Questions About Asbestos Removal in Ottawa

The cost of asbestos removal in Ottawa depends on the type of material involved, the size of the affected area, and the level of risk (Type 1, 2, or 3 abatement). Most residential projects range from $500 to $3,000. For larger or higher-risk situations, pricing may be higher. At Go Pro Restoration, we offer free, no-obligation estimates to help you plan with clarity and confidence.

Yes, in most cases, you can remain in your home during asbestos abatement. Our team uses strict containment measures, negative air machines, and HEPA filtration to ensure fibers do not spread to unaffected areas. However, access to the work area will be restricted until the removal is complete and cleared.

We strongly recommend lab-certified asbestos testing before starting any removal work. Samples should be collected from suspect materials and sent to accredited third-party laboratories. Proper testing ensures accurate identification of asbestos and determines the safest removal method, in line with Ontario’s health and safety regulations.

We proudly serve clients across the greater Ottawa area, including but not limited to Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Nepean, Gloucester, Stittsville, and Rockland. Whether you’re in a residential neighborhood or a commercial zone, our licensed abatement specialists are ready to assist you locally.

Our team is experienced in removing vermiculite insulation commonly found in attics, as well as asbestos-containing textured ceiling coatings (like popcorn ceilings). These materials can pose health risks if disturbed and should always be tested and professionally removed.

Most asbestos removal jobs in Ottawa are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the scope of work and risk classification. Larger or more complex jobs (Type 3) require additional containment time and air quality testing. We’ll give you a detailed timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly.
