Why it matters here
Sarnia's petrochemical sites add turnaround and shutdown work, which is when asbestos in older facilities gets disturbed. Facility Partner clients get oversight and monitoring days reserved for those windows.
Plastics and resin plants in the area carry O. Reg. 490/09 duties for benzene, vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile. Our Workplace Exposure Program covers the assessment, control program and air monitoring.
We also cover Point Edward, Petrolia and the rest of Lambton County.

Questions people ask
How much does asbestos testing cost in Sarnia?
A project designated substance survey is $550 for one suite or up to 2,000 sq ft, and $1,300 to $4,800 for commercial work areas. Lab analysis is included, so there's no separate testing charge.
How long do results take?
Lab results come back within 1 week of the site visit. If work can't wait, we leave written interim instructions on site the same day.
Which buildings in Sarnia are likely to contain asbestos?
Most buildings built after 1980 are largely free of asbestos; nearly anything older is a candidate. Floor tile and mastic, drywall compound, textured ceilings, pipe insulation and vermiculite are the usual suspects.
Are you independent of abatement contractors?
Yes. We never remove or abate anything and take no referral fees, so our survey results aren't shaped by anyone who profits from removal.
