Protect Yourself From the Dangers of Asbestos
Asbestos was a popular building material in the 19th and 20th centuries due to its fire-retardant capabilities, lightness, and durability. Unfortunately, when asbestos is disturbed, its fibres can settle in your lungs, causing mesothelioma and other forms of lung cancer.
That is why testing is essential if you suspect you may have asbestos, especially if you plan to renovate your structure. At Asbestos Laboratories, we offer fast, reliable asbestos testing in Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto, so you can ensure that your property is safe. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Where is Asbestos Found?
Because of its fire-retardant properties, asbestos was used in many parts of the building process. Some places you might find asbestos can include:
Additionally, asbestos can vary in colour, texture and appearance. The best way to confirm the presence of asbestos is through lab testing.

Clients Have to Say
Wishing I could give a 10-star review for Asbestos Labs! The woman I spoke to on the phone was so kind and patient. My concerns were validated and all my questions answered kindly by herself and the asbestos labs team. I felt as though I was asking such silly questions, since I’ve never dealt with asbestos before and I was reassured that it is very common to feel this way. I was walked through the process of taking my own samples and I had my results before I knew it! I’m very glad I chose to use asbestos labs for my samples and I will definitely recommend them in the future to others who are in need of testing.
