Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral composed of thin, durable fibers. It was widely used in construction and manufacturing throughout the 20th century because of its resistance to heat, fire, and chemicals, as well as its insulating properties. Commonly found in older buildings, asbestos was used in materials like insulation, ceiling tiles, cement, and floor tiles. However, asbestos fibers can be hazardous if they become airborne and are inhaled, leading to serious health issues, including lung disease, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Because of these risks, professional handling and removal are necessary when asbestos-containing materials are found. Asbestos was used in more than 3000 building products. It was banned from use after the 1990's. For more information please visit our Asbestos Page

Asbestos is known to cause cancer and other illness'. Once inhaled it stays in the lungs forever causing major health issues and even death. It needs to be removed before construction or renovations begin. For more information please visit our Asbestos Remediation Page

If your building was built after 1990, asbestos use is unlikely. If your building was built before 1990, it is likely there are asbestos containing materials present in your building. We would need to collect bulk samples and send them off for laboratory analysis to make sure the materials are free from asbestos before any construction or renovations begin. Please contact us to find out if you may have asbestos present in your home.

Asbestos abatement is a risky process. We use proper PPE, equipment, containment and follow government safety regulations to complete each project. Failure to follow proper procedures can result in contaminating the entire building. Causing major health issues up to and including death down the road. To save yourself from these issues or legal issues, you must have a properly trained professional complete the abatement process.

Our Process for testing and removing asbestos is designed to ensure the safety of everyone involved and to effectively eliminate asbestos hazards from your property. Here's what to expect: Initial Consultation and Assessment: We start by discussing your concerns and scheduling an on-site visit to assess the suspected asbestos-containing materials. Professional Asbestos Testing: Our certified specialists collect samples from the materials in question, following strict safety protocols to prevent fiber release. These samples are then sent to an accredited laboratory for precise analysis. Results and Recommendations: Once we receive the lab results, we share our findings with you. If asbestos is detected, we provide a detailed plan for safe and efficient removal, customized to your property’s needs. Asbestos Removal and Remediation: Our team carefully contains and removes the asbestos materials, using industry-approved methods and equipment to prevent contamination. We then perform a thorough cleanup and air quality testing if required to ensure the area is safe for reoccupation. Clearance documentation is then provided. Throughout the process, our focus is on safety, clear communication, and providing peace of mind as we handle all aspects of asbestos testing and removal.

Asbestos is generally considered dangerous if it is disturbed or damaged, as this can release tiny asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and pose serious health risks. However, if asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and left undisturbed, they typically do not pose an immediate hazard. In these cases, it is often safer to leave asbestos materials in place and monitor them regularly for signs of wear or damage. If you suspect deterioration or are planning renovations, it’s crucial to consult with a professional who can assess the situation and recommend the safest course of action. We can help with this process. If asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and left undisturbed, they typically do not pose an immediate hazard

If you suspect you have mould in your home or building, the first step is to remain calm and take some initial precautions.

Once you’ve identified potential problem areas, contact Relief Restorations for an inspection and assessment. Our team will determine the extent of the mould growth, identify the source of moisture, and develop a tailored plan to safely and effectively remediate the mould. In the meantime, ensure proper ventilation in affected areas but avoid attempting to clean large mould patches on your own, as this can be hazardous. If you think you have mould present, reach out today to have one of our expert staff come by for a consultation. 1-833-367-7354 or reach out via our Contact Page

Exposure to mould spores can cause a variety of health issues, including respiratory problems, coughing, sneezing, throat irritation, and skin rashes. In some cases, mould exposure may lead to more severe reactions, such as asthma attacks or lung infections. Certain types of mould, like Stachybotrys (often called black mould), are particularly concerning and may release mycotoxins that pose additional health risks. If you suspect mould in your home, it’s important to address the issue promptly to protect your health and well-being.

Here’s what typically happens: Inspection and Assessment: Our specialists begin by inspecting the affected area to determine the extent of the mould growth and identify the underlying cause, such as moisture or leaks. We’ll develop a detailed remediation plan tailored to your situation. Containment: To prevent the spread of mould spores to other parts of your property, we use containment barriers and air filtration systems, such as HEPA filters, to keep the area secure and the air clean.

Cleaning and Sanitization: We thoroughly clean and sanitize the area, ensuring all surfaces and air are free from mould spores. We also use dehumidifiers and other methods to remove excess moisture and prevent mould from returning.

Throughout the process, our team prioritizes safety, clear communication, and effective remediation to ensure your property is mould-free and safe for reoccupation.

If you've experienced water damage, it’s important to act quickly to minimize the impact and prevent further damage. Here’s what you should do immediately: Ensure Safety First: If there is standing water, especially near electrical outlets, appliances, or wiring, turn off the power supply to prevent electrical hazards. Avoid walking through standing water if you are unsure about the safety of the electrical system. Stop the Source of Water: If possible, locate and stop the source of the water, such as turning off the main water supply valve or fixing a leak. This will help prevent additional water from entering your home. Protect Your Belongings: Move valuable items, furniture, electronics, and any possessions that could be damaged by the water to a dry area. If items are too large to move, elevate them off the floor. Ventilate and Dry the Area: Open windows and doors to help with air circulation. If possible, use fans and dehumidifiers to begin drying the area and reduce the chances of mould growth. Contact a Professional: Once the immediate safety steps are addressed, contact a water damage restoration company like us for a thorough inspection and cleanup. We have the expertise and equipment to assess the damage, remove excess water, and begin the restoration process to prevent further damage or mould growth.

The length of the water damage restoration process can vary depending on the extent of the damage, the size of the affected area, and how quickly the response is. Typically, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Here’s an overview of the general timeline: Assessment and Inspection (1–2 days): A thorough inspection and damage assessment are done to determine the scope of the restoration work needed. Water Extraction and Drying (3–5+ days): Depending on the severity, the extraction of standing water and drying process can take several days. This includes using industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and other drying equipment to remove moisture from walls, floors, and structural components. Mould Prevention and Sanitization (1–3 days): After drying, mould prevention treatments and cleaning are performed to ensure that no moisture remains that could encourage mould growth. Restoration and Repair (3–7+ days): This phase includes repairing or replacing damaged materials, such as drywall, flooring, and insulation, and restoring your property to its pre-damage condition. The timeline can be shortened or lengthened based on how severe the water damage is, how quickly the damage is addressed, and whether additional repairs or remediation are necessary.
