Hazardous materials will make you sick and cost you a lot of money.
Residential and Commercial Abatement Services
You’ve heard before that your health is your most important asset. That, without your health nothing else is worthwhile. It’s a common truth for everyone. We don’t realize how valuable a healthy body is until we are sick. Obviously, you wouldn’t consciously expose yourself to chemicals you knew could harm you; but, did you know there are literally thousands of occupied buildings in Edmonton whose building materials are now considered as toxic or carcinogenic? Abatement services are in the fight to safely remove and dispose of these materials as fast as possible.
This stuff is bad for you. Get rid of it - just have someone else get rid of it for you.
Not only is there a health risk, but these materials will affect your pocket book. If your property was built before the 90’s, chances are some form of hazardous material is present. It could be in the form of asbestos, mold, toxic chemicals or heavy metals. You might have discovered these materials on your own or learned about them by a contractor or inspector pointing them out. Once you see, you can’t unsee it. Regulatory bodies have mandated that since these materials are so dangerous that they must be removed. If they are not, then there are consequences in the form of increased insurance premiums, difficulty selling your home or office space, and having to regularly inspect the area with a professional testing service. This is over and above the long term consequences of your health and wellbeing diminishing over time, inviting increased healthcare costs and reduced quality of life to you and your family. Point is, this is not something to procrastinate on as the hidden costs grow rapidly.

Technicians are trained to safely dispose of hazardous materials so you don’t have to.
Expert testing.
Abatement is a highly regulated industry where contractors and technicians are required by law to undergo regular and extensive training in the latest best practices. Not only for their safety, but for their families, their colleagues, the space surrounding the work area, and equally important: you as the consumer. This increased regulatory oversight also brings with it increased accountability that the job is getting done right the first time, and the technicians work with a sense of pride knowing they are giving you peace of mind.
Diligent Disposal.
Abatement services require proper planning and execution. Required by law, the contractor must communicate with different levels of government prior to each job. Due to the hazardous nature of the work, the space needs to be properly sealed off with a negative air pressure applied to prevent any airborne spread. The area is sectioned off with many warning signs in the area so no one can casually access abatement. The air quality is constantly monitored and the area is regularly tested to ensure no external spread is taking place. The technicians must undergo decontamination before and after leaving the sectioned off area. The materials are properly sealed and safely transported to a regulated disposal site. Final 3rd party testing takes place before anyone can reoccupy the space, ensuring the job is done right the first time.
Honest Integrity.
The margins for error are minimal. The standards of what is acceptable are very high, as people's health and safety are at risk if any mistakes are made or corners are cut. Every job presents different constraints and unique challenges. Having over 10 years of abatement experience provides Abatement Edmonton’s technicians with adequate foresight. Sometimes unforeseen challenges can occur that were not initially expected. Being fully transparent and accountable to you and the regulatory bodies ensures that no matter what challenges arise, the abatement service adapts. Worst case scenario is the job is completed with 100% accuracy, but a little past anticipated deadline.
Prioritize your peace of mind.

Bradley C.,
Small Business Owner - Acheson
After a small fire, Abatement Edmonton helped us with fire restoration and removing smoke damage. Having our business catch fire was one of the most stressful nights of my life. Between frantically trying to recover important documents and having to navigate confusing insurance investigations, it’s safe to say nothing could have prepared us for it. Which is why we were so delighted by the professionalism and quality of Abatement Edmonton. When you’re having a bad day, you want to have good people around you. Those people were Don and his team. Thanks again guys. You literally have no idea…
Angela McCarthy,
Mill Woods Resident
Apparently our home in Mill Woods was built in a flood zone the City neglected to inform us about. After an intense monsoon-like rain storm, my whole street’s sewer backed up in everyone’s basement. There was about a foot of sludgy, disgusting rancid-smelling water that destroyed over 1000 square feet of our downstairs rooms. We were irate! What really helped us was the calm and confident demeanor Abatement Edmonton had during every step of the way. From giving us an estimate to tearing everything down and having it removed. When they finished the area was swept clean, as if no one had been there or no flood ever took place!
Danis L.,
Strathcona Resident
My family wanted to relocate to a central neighborhood to be closer to the kids’ schools and our work downtown. We ended up finding a very cute heritage-looking house in Strathcona. The home was, and still is, a work of art with craftsmanship you don’t often see anymore. When we first moved, we knew there was asbestos in the walls that had to be removed. Being a young family with kids, we didn’t delay. We were very impressed with Abatement Edmonton’s work ethic. I think they said the job would have taken over a week, but we received our final report within 5 days. The family-run business vibe was very welcoming and appreciative.
How Abatement Services will help you
Asbestos Abatement
Asbestos is a material that was widely used in many different building products, primarily for its fire-resistant properties. There were several kinds of asbestos used, derived from different but similar minerals. The texture is fibrous and the greatest risk if disturbed is asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. This is a dangerous substance so please contact a professional for all your testing and removal needs.
Mold Removal
There are hundreds of thousands of types of mold. Most commonly is mold due to moisture build up. This can take place anywhere there is improper airflow within the house. A commonly found and dangerous form is known as black mold which is carcinogenic in nature. You do not want to remove this yourself. Professionals are trained on the best safety and disposal procedures.
Fire and Flood Restoration
Fires and floods can happen at any time, either from nature or accidents. They often are described as blindsiding, catching most people off guard. Property damages are typically extensive, requiring complete removal. Oftentimes, there is smoke damage or a consequential mold build up that also needs to be cleaned. Abatement professionals can accomplish these jobs with safety and effectiveness.
Lead and PCB Remediation
Similar to asbestos, other household products or building materials have been later linked to health risks such as cancer. These materials include but are not limited to, lead, mercury, and PCBs. Under no circumstances should anyone other than trained abatement professionals handle these materials.

We can also help you with reconstruction efforts!
Did you know that abatement technicians are often skilled laborers and Journeyman Carpenters? Our team is complete with the manpower and expertise required to rebuild what needed to be removed. Our teams are often sub-contracted to assist with new construction of residential, commercial and multifamily buildings. We can certainly help you with reconstruction!
Structural damage due to mold.
Mold is the byproduct of moisture buildup. Did you know that the growth of mold creates the necessary conditions for other bacteria and fungi to grow on the wooden structure of your home? In other words, if you have mold damage affecting the framing of the building, the integrity can be at risk from wood rot. Some bacteria and fungi can literally be eating the framing of your home. The extent of damage will be determined from your Mold Assessment. For more information on mold remediation, please review our service page.
Leak repair causing water damage.
Mold often stems from a hidden leak somewhere in the building envelope. The leak can be a direct entry for water to enter such as a damaged roof causing rain or melting snow to enter the roof and attic. Or it can be more indirect, such as improper ventilation causing condensation in between the walls, flooring, and ceiling. Condensation build up causes moisture build up which will lead to water damage.
Reframing from total remediation.
Depending on the extent of asbestos abatement or mold removal, it is possible that entire walls must be removed or floors taken out. In these situations Abatement Edmonton can be tasked with reframing the structure so that everything that had to be disposed is now replaced and structurally intact. The process is very much out with the old and in with the new.
Renovations from total disaster.
Similarly fire, flood and extreme weather can destroy entire homes. Whether the damage was done to the basement, garage, part of the house or the entire house, we can rebuild from the ground up. In these situations we can act as the general contractor and renovate the entire job start to finish using our network of sub-trades and years of project management experience. We are fully licensed and bonded to do so. If you are in this situation, please consider talking to us about a total renovation. We can help you every step of the way.
Here’s more information on abatement and how it can help you.
Q: What is abatement?
A: Abatement is a process of removing harmful pollutants from the environment. These pollutants come in many forms, shapes, and sizes. The environment can be a section of house, a small mechanical room, a large commercial space, or an outdoor area.
Q: What risks do I have if I delay abatement?
A: The two primary risks of delaying abatement are to your health and finances. There’s tremendous liability that comes with delaying abatement. Constant inspections cost money, the area has to be securely sealed off, and overtime, the risk of exposure increases. All hazardous materials are detrimental to your health and can even be fatal.
Q: How safe is abatement?
A: Abatement services are highly regulated and scrutinized to ensure the highest level of safety and accountability in the marketplace. Abatement areas are securely sectioned off, regularly inspected, and constantly monitored for pollution levels. By law, you as the consumer will receive a report of clearance once the job is completed and a 3rd party tested that contaminants are no longer present.
Q: Is abatement expensive?
A: The answer varies. Abatement jobs can be expensive depending on the extent of the damage and scope of work. Every work area presents different challenges and unique constraints that need to be accounted for. Sometimes third party consulting services are required to assist. In short, there’s no simple one-size fit all answer. You just have to call for a quote to find out.
