Living in Vancouver, especially in an older home, means you might face a double threat: asbestos and mold. Both pose health risks and require special removal techniques. So, when these issues arise, you might wonder: can one company handle both asbestos and mold removal in Vancouver?
The answer depends on the company’s qualifications. Let’s break it down:
- Asbestos Removal: In Vancouver, only WorkSafe BC certified companies can remove asbestos. These companies have the training and equipment to safely remove asbestos-containing materials, minimizing exposure risks.
- Mold Remediation: Mold removal doesn’t require the same level of certification as asbestos, but experience is key. Effective mold remediation involves finding the moisture source, removing the mold, and preventing its return.
Can One Contractor Do Both?
Yes, some Vancouver contractors are certified for both asbestos removal and mold remediation. Here at Foralis Environmental Inc., we’re certified for both. This offers several advantages:

- Expertise: Our team at Foralis Environmental Inc. understands the interaction between asbestos and mold. For instance, mold can sometimes grow on top of asbestos-containing materials, requiring a specific removal strategy.
