Asbestos Removal in Vancouver
Asbestos Removal in Vancouver, BC
Foralis Environmental delivers certified asbestos removal in Vancouver, BC, ensuring safe, compliant, and tailored abatement solutions for your property.
Safe and Compliant Asbestos Abatement in Vancouver for Homes and Buildings.
Asbestos shows up in a number of older homes and commercial buildings across Vancouver. Many places built before the early 1990s have asbestos tucked away in insulation, drywall mud, old vinyl flooring, roofing materials, or wrapped around pipes. It usually stays out of sight until a renovation or repair disturbs it, and that’s when the fibres become dangerous. That’s why homeowners, landlords, and contractors throughout the city call trained abatement professionals before starting any work.
Foralis Environmental handles these situations with the care they deserve. Our crew follows all WorkSafeBC requirements and uses industry-approved methods from start to finish. The process covers everything from the first look at the affected area to safe removal, proper disposal, and final air testing. The idea is to make the entire job clear, straightforward, and as stress-free as possible.
We work on both residential and commercial properties anywhere in Vancouver. So if you’re renovating an older house in Mount Pleasant, taking down damaged drywall in Kitsilano, or dealing with an abatement issue in a building downtown, our team is ready to step in and get it sorted.

Carolyn Hope2024-11-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KD was fantastic- he was very quick and efficient at checking our home for asbestos and other concerning materials before we began our demo. He was even willing to come back for a second appointment, as we forgot to get samples of some flooring in our bathrooms (and at no extra charge). I would highly recommend this company for all your testing needs. Carolyn & Cooper Sham C2024-10-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is asbestos and why is it dangerous
A lot of older homes in Vancouver, built before 1990 carry asbestos in drywall mud, attic insulation, flooring, or pipe wrap. Renovations can release tiny fibres that float in the air and enter the lungs. That is why safe, certified removal is required before anyone starts work.
Can I remove asbestos myself
Rules in Vancouver, BC don’t allow homeowners to remove most asbestos materials on their own. WorkSafeBC requires proper containment and disposal handled by trained technicians.
How do I know if my Vancouver home has asbestos
Character homes in Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano, Hastings, and most pre-1990 buildings often contain asbestos. Lab testing is the only way to confirm it.
How long does removal take
Small areas can sometimes be wrapped up in a day. Bigger projects take longer because of containment and setup. You get a clear timeline after inspection.
Do you provide documentation
Yes. Every abatement job done in Vancouver includes a report, air results if needed, and disposal receipts.
