ACM Shingles... All gone!

It took some elbow grease and sunny skies, but we wrapped this one up in a hurry.

Vermiculite, Home Inspection, Analysis

Here is a small informational and link below about vermiculite. We run into this stuff on occasion when people are either trying to sell or buy a home. Furthermore, when your/their home inspector says "you have asbestos vermiculite in your attic", don't let him or her assume that for you. You could save thousands of dollars by getting it tested before you proceed to remove it. We have seen this 4 times in 2015 throughout Niagara.

SK Public Asbestos Registry is Live!

This is great news. Saskatchewan has finally rolled out their Public Asbestos Registry. Found in the link below is the Saskatchewan government's website to "report asbestos" anywhere within the province. Of course this doesn't help the rest of us directly, but hopefully some of the powers that be will start to make similar changes to the rest of Canada. We need to minimize the potential risks there are with living and working around these carcinogenic materials -It's 2015!
