What is asbestos and mould decontamination?
At Abri Spec, our mission is to inform you about the importance of maintaining a healthy environment, both in your home and at work. We understand that the health and safety of your family or colleagues are top priorities, which is why it’s crucial to understand the risks associated with attempting decontamination without professional expertise.
It is essential to entrust such work to trained and experienced specialists. By working with Abri Spec, you are guaranteed a safe and compliant process. This allows you to enjoy your living or working space without worrying about your health or that of your loved ones.
Asbestos
Asbestos is a mineral fibre that was widely used in construction during the last century, particularly before 1986, due to its excellent thermal insulation properties. However, after 1986, its use in construction materials was banned because inhaling asbestos fibres was recognized as a cause of serious health issues.
What should you do if your home was built before 1986?
If you plan to undertake work on your property in the Outaouais or Ottawa region and your home was built before 1986, we strongly recommend contacting us to perform tests to determine whether the materials contain asbestos. At Abri Spec, we conduct these tests and can provide you with all the necessary information, including pricing, tailored to your needs.
The lab report will confirm whether you can proceed with your planned work safely or if you need to decontaminate your home first. Whether you are in the Outaouais region, its surroundings, or Ontario, Abri Spec is here to assist you.
When asbestos is removed, it releases fibres into the air, and these fibres are harmful to your health. Using our modern techniques, we safely eliminate all traces of asbestos from your property, adhering to a rigorous protocol that complies with decontamination standards prescribed by law.
Our qualified asbestos decontamination team works in accordance with the highest safety standards. We also provide complete documentation to certify that your building has been decontaminated in compliance with regulations.
If you suspect the presence of asbestos in your home or building, contact Abri Spec immediately—your decontamination professionals in the Outaouais and Ottawa regions. Don’t wait for asbestos fibres to damage your health. Contact us today to enjoy a healthier environment.
Mould
At Abri Spec in Outaouais and Ottawa, our mission is to purify your air. It is crucial to understand that mould, whether visible or microscopic, can cause health issues for the occupants of your home or office. It often appears as black or white stains, commonly caused by water infiltration, pipe damage, improper humidity levels, poor ventilation, or underground problems.
When mould grows extensively, it releases spores into the air you breathe, which can lead to allergies, respiratory infections, and skin and eye irritations. That’s why it’s essential to never attempt to scrub or wash mould stains using home remedies, as while the stain may disappear temporarily, it will return more intensely, and you risk worsening the situation. When disturbed, mould releases more spores that spread through the air and find new sources of nourishment.
If you suspect the presence of mould, even if it’s not visible, the best solution is to conduct air quality tests. These tests will determine whether mould spores are present in the ambient air. At Abri Spec, we carry out these tests and can provide you with all the necessary information, including pricing based on your needs.
Breathing in mould daily can lead to symptoms such as itchy eyes, persistent coughing, allergy symptoms, or even frequent illness in your pets.
