If you have found asbestos in your home, it’s important not to panic and to contact Abri Spec’s asbestos experts. An assessment will be carried out, along with the steps to be taken. If necessary, samples will be taken for analysis. An appointment can then be made to remove or encapsulate the asbestos in accordance with current safety standards. It is important not to attempt to clean or handle the materials yourself, and to wait for our specialized team. Such contaminants are dangerous to handle without equipment.

There are several signs that may indicate possible mould contamination in your home, such as mould stains on walls, ceilings or upholstery, a musty odour (earthy smell), excessive humidity in the air, and water leaks or infiltration in the house. If you suspect mould contamination, you’ll need to take immediate steps to remedy the situation.

The process of decontaminating your home will depend on the severity of the contamination and whether it is asbestos or mould. General steps include initial assessment, identification of the source of contamination, removal of contamination, disinfection of the affected area, and repair of damage. An Abri Spec decontamination professional can help you develop a customized plan of action for your situation.
