When to Call Us

Why It Matters

Why Proper Asbestos Testing Matters

Manitoba Law Requires Testing First

Under Manitoba Regulation 217/2006, suspect materials in pre-1990 buildings must be tested before renovation or demolition. Skipping this step can result in project shutdowns, fines, and significant health liability.

Visual Inspection Is Not Enough

Asbestos cannot be identified by sight alone. Only accredited laboratory analysis of a physical sample can confirm or rule out asbestos. Acting on assumptions puts workers, residents, and future occupants at risk.

Our Reports Go Beyond a Lab Sheet

We provide a full written report with sample locations, material descriptions, photos, and recommendations - not just raw lab results. This is the documentation that contractors, insurers, and permit offices actually need.

Protect Your Renovation Budget

Discovering asbestos mid-project causes costly delays and emergency remediation charges. Pre-renovation testing lets you plan, budget, and proceed with confidence from day one.

Annual Monitoring Is Required

If asbestos-containing materials are left in place rather than removed, Manitoba regulations require annual condition inspections. Deteriorating ACMs must be abated before they become airborne hazards.

Your Test Report Is a Lasting Record

A written test report with sample locations, photos, and lab results becomes part of your property's documentation. It informs future contractors, supports insurance disclosures, and saves you from re-testing materials you have already confirmed.

Where Asbestos Hides

Common Suspect ACM Locations

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) turn up in dozens of spots throughout a pre-1990 home - from roof shingles to floor tile to boiler insulation. Explore some of the most common suspect locations below. Click the diagram to zoom in and pan around the numbered areas.

Some - not all - of the common suspect ACM locations in a typical pre-1990 home. Only accredited lab testing can confirm whether a material actually contains asbestos.

See something on this list in your home? Do not disturb it. We can confirm it with a vermiculite or bulk material sample, and handle asbestos abatement if results come back positive.

Proper Sampling, Chain of Custody, Accredited Lab

We collect small physical samples of suspect materials, seal and label each one, and document a full chain of custody before they go to an accredited third-party lab for polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis.

You receive more than a lab sheet - a written report with sample locations, material descriptions, photos, and clear recommendations that meet Manitoba requirements and give your contractor and insurer exactly what they need.
