Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous material, commonly used in construction prior to the early 1990s because of its insulating and fire-retardant properties, as well as its strength and resistance to chemical erosion.

Asbestos Exposure Risks
Studies have proven that prolonged exposure to asbestos is a dangerous health hazard. Asbestos fibres released into the air put anyone breathing in the air at high levels of risks related to lung scaring, cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Recognize & Reduce the Risks
Although not commonly used in construction in Canada today, asbestos containing materials can still be found in many places throughout homes or commercial buildings. Before renovating, repairing, or remodeling a home built before 1990, check for these potential asbestos-containing materials:

• Textured ceiling
• Drywall mud
• Vinyl composite (VC) tile
• Sheet vinyl flooring
• Duct joint tape
• Transite cement board
• Pipe insulation
• Vermiculite insulation
• Roof tile
• Cement composite drain pipe

If you are unsure of what you are looking for, contact a professional to help you inspect.

Asbestos Abatement
If you suspect or find asbestos-containing material (ACM) in your home or building, do not disturb it in any way. Call immediately for a professional assessment. Do not try to remove, cut, sand, or break it before contacting Sunrise Restorations. Leave that to the professionals. Dangerous asbestos fibers may be released into the air if the ACM are disturbed during a renovation or home repair.

The many forms of asbestos require varied and specific methods of management and/or removal. For public safety and liability issues, ACM’s should only be handled by trained and experienced asbestos abatement professionals.
