Why it matters here
More than one in three Windsor dwellings was built before 1960, and most of the city's industrial and institutional floor space dates from the same era. Nearly everything built before 1980 is a candidate for asbestos-containing materials.
The City of Windsor's demolition permit checklist asks for a designated substance list, so every demolition starts with a survey. We write them ready to attach to the permit and the tender.
We also cover LaSalle, Tecumseh, Amherstburg and Lakeshore.

Questions people ask
How much does asbestos testing cost in Windsor?
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 Windsor 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.
Do I need a designated substance survey for a demolition permit in Windsor?
Yes. The City of Windsor's demolition permit checklist asks for a list of designated substances. We write the survey ready to attach to the permit application and the demolition tender.
