Asbestos Testing & Solutions
At Peerless Air, we understand the serious health risks and structural concerns that asbestos can pose. Once widely used in construction for its fire-resistant and insulating properties, asbestos is now known to be a hazardous material when disturbed.
Exposure to airborne asbestos fibres can lead to long-term respiratory illnesses, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. We take a thorough, safety-focused approach to asbestos testing and removal.
Our mission is simple: We protect your health, family, and property by providing accurate asbestos testing and effective solutions for safe remediation.
Whether you suspect asbestos in your home or business or need clearance testing before renovation or demolition, we are here to help.

Why Asbestos Testing Is Important In Toronto
Asbestos is not always visible to the naked eye. It can be hidden in insulation, drywall, ceiling tiles, floor coverings, cement siding, roofing shingles, and even around old heating systems.
If these materials are in good condition and undisturbed, they may not release harmful fibres. However, they can release dangerous microscopic fibres into the air if they are damaged, deteriorating, or disturbed during repairs, renovations, or demolition.
Professional asbestos testing allows us to confirm the presence or absence of asbestos before you make decisions about renovations or repairs. It also helps ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
Our Toronto Asbestos Testing Process
When you contact Peerless Air for asbestos testing, we follow a proven step-by-step process to ensure accurate results.
Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing your concerns, the property’s history, and any planned work that could disturb potential asbestos materials. This helps us identify priority areas for testing.
Site Inspection
Our certified asbestos inspectors perform a detailed visual inspection, noting materials and locations where asbestos is most likely to be found.
Sample Collection
We carefully collect material samples using strict safety procedures to prevent fibre release. This may include scraping a small portion of suspected material, sealing the area afterward, and labelling the samples for analysis.
Laboratory Analysis
Samples are sent to an accredited laboratory, where advanced microscopy techniques are used to confirm whether asbestos is present and identify the type and concentration of fibres.
Reporting
We provide a clear, detailed report outlining the findings, including the exact locations of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and our recommendations for next steps.
Asbestos Solutions We Offer In Toronto
At Peerless Air, we do more than test for asbestos. We offer a full range of solutions to help you address asbestos hazards safely and effectively.
Risk Assessment
Once testing is complete, we evaluate the condition of the asbestos-containing materials and determine whether immediate removal is necessary or if safe management is an option.
Encapsulation
In some cases, removing asbestos may not be necessary if it is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed. We recommend encapsulation, which involves sealing the material with a protective coating that prevents fibres from becoming airborne.
Asbestos Removal (Abatement)
If asbestos removal is required, we coordinate with licensed asbestos abatement contractors to ensure work is carried out safely and complies with local and federal regulations.
This includes:
Sealing off work areas to prevent contamination
Using specialized equipment to remove and contain asbestos materials
Proper disposal in approved facilities
Air Quality Testing
After removal or encapsulation, we conduct clearance air testing to confirm that the area is safe for reoccupation. This step provides peace of mind and ensures compliance with safety standards.

Common Signs You May Need Asbestos Testing
You should consider scheduling asbestos testing if:
You own or are purchasing a property built before the mid-1990s
You are planning renovations or demolition work in an older building
You notice damaged insulation, floor tiles, or ceiling materials
You find old roofing, siding, or pipe insulation that appears worn or brittle
You suspect exposure from past construction or repairs
The Risks of Ignoring Asbestos
Delaying asbestos testing and removal can have serious consequences.
If disturbed materials release fibres into your home or workplace, you may face significant health risks that could appear years later.
In addition, asbestos contamination can require expensive remediation and impact property value.
Taking action early can help avoid costly repairs, ensure compliance with regulations, and, most importantly, safeguard the health of everyone who enters the building.
