Find the answers to our most frequently asked questions about our demolition and abatement services.
What qualifications and certifications should a demolition and hazardous material abatement contractor have?
In Ontario, contractors handling demolition and hazardous material abatement must be licensed and certified according to provincial regulations. Our team holds all required certifications, including those for asbestos abatement (Type 1, 2, and 3 operations) as outlined in Ontario Regulation 278/05. We also follow all Ministry of Labour (MOL) guidelines and employ workers who are trained in WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System), Working at Heights, and other safety protocols.
Safety is our top priority. We conduct site-specific risk assessments and develop a comprehensive Health and Safety Plan for every project. We use proper containment procedures, negative air pressure systems, and decontamination zones when handling hazardous materials. All our work is supervised by qualified personnel and adheres to Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations. We also maintain open communication with clients to ensure they are informed throughout the process.
We are fully qualified to identify, handle, and safely remove a wide range of hazardous materials commonly found in Ontario structures. This includes asbestos, lead-based paint, mould, mercury-containing devices, PCB-containing materials, and silica dust. We ensure all hazardous materials are dealt with according to Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) regulations.
Yes, if you requested for testing to be included in your quote, we can arrange for designated substance surveys (DSS) and hazardous materials testing through accredited third-party environmental consultants. This step ensures we identify any regulated substances, as required under Ontario Regulation 490/09 and 278/05, so we can plan safe and compliant removal.

All hazardous waste is handled in strict accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Protection Act and Regulation 347 (General – Waste Management). We work exclusively with licensed waste carriers and approved disposal facilities to ensure the safe transportation and environmentally responsible disposal of all hazardous materials. Documentation and waste manifests are provided to verify compliance and give you peace of mind.

In addition to hazardous waste, we also manage the disposal of non-hazardous construction and demolition debris with the same level of diligence. We segregate materials onsite, divert recyclable materials whenever possible, and ensure that all remaining waste is transported by licensed carriers to registered facilities in compliance with Ontario’s waste management regulations. Our goal is to minimize the environmental impact of every project we undertake.

Yes, we are fully insured for $10 million. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance, including coverage for pollution liability and asbestos abatement. Our policies exceed the standard requirements and protect both our clients and our workers. We also maintain workers' compensation coverage through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) of Ontario.
Project timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the job, the types of hazardous materials involved, and permit approval times. A small residential project may take a few days to a week, while larger commercial or industrial sites can require several weeks. We provide a detailed project schedule upfront and keep clients updated on progress throughout.
We take proactive steps to reduce disruption. For dust, we use water suppression systems, negative air machines with HEPA filters, and physical barriers to contain contaminants. To limit noise, we use modern, well-maintained equipment and schedule work during agreed-upon hours. We also ensure clear communication with neighboring properties when necessary.

Yes. If you have requested this additional service in your quote, we will handle the coordination of all required notifications and demolition permit applications on your behalf. This includes demolition permits, coordinating all the utility shut-offs, Ministry of Labour notifications for hazardous material abatement, and any necessary environmental documentation. We ensure full compliance with the Ontario Building Code, the Environmental Protection Act, and all applicable municipal bylaws.

Please note that while we assist with the permit process to relieve you of the hassle, all permit fees remain the responsibility of the client.

Project costs are based on several factors, including the size and scope of the demolition, the types and quantities of hazardous materials involved, site conditions, and disposal requirements. We offer free, no-obligation consultations and detailed estimates, so you have a clear understanding of all costs before work begins. Our pricing is transparent, competitive, and tailored to each project’s unique needs.

Compliance Handling and Proper Equipment

A professional contractor will take ownership of obtaining required permits and ensure all local bylaws, safety regulations, and environmental guidelines are followed to a T. The right tools for the job matter. Whether it’s high-reach excavators, robotic demo equipment for tight interiors, or HEPA-filtered vacuums for abatement—your contractor should have the tech to match the task.
