Professional Asbestos Removal & Abatement for Markham Properties
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present in a significant percentage of Ontario homes and buildings constructed before 1990. Disturbing ACMs during renovation without proper abatement creates serious health risks including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Wright Restorations Canada is a Ministry of Labour licensed asbestos abatement contractor operating under Ontario Regulation 278/05[1].
In Markham, the large stock of pre-1990 homes means asbestos-containing materials are present in a significant percentage of properties. Our certified technicians understand these local conditions and bring the expertise to address them effectively.
Markham combines historic Unionville with modern master-planned communities like Cornell and Wismer. Older homes in Markham Village and Unionville frequently present asbestos and mold concerns, while newer builds in high-density areas face water intrusion from improper grading and window failures.
We serve all neighbourhoods across Markham and the broader York Region area. Whether you're in Richmond Hill, Stouffville, or anywhere in between, call us to confirm current emergency availability.
Asbestos in Markham Homes
Markham's heritage areas, such as Unionville and Markham Village, and its 1960s–70s subdivisions include many homes built before the mid-1980s; newer areas like Cornell are much less likely to contain asbestos. Ontario guidance notes asbestos was widely used in sprayed-on material and pipe and boiler insulation until 1973, and in many other materials until the mid-1980s. (Government of Ontario — Asbestos regulation guide)
For any Markham home built or renovated before the mid-1980s, test suspect materials such as floor tile, textured ceilings, pipe insulation or vermiculite before sanding, cutting or demolition. Only laboratory testing confirms asbestos.

Asbestos Abatement in Markham — Common Questions
Is my older Markham home likely to contain asbestos?
It may, if it was built or renovated before the mid-1980s. Only laboratory testing of samples can confirm it, so test before renovating.
Do you offer asbestos removal in Markham?
Yes. We provide asbestos testing and abatement across Markham. Call (888) 268-5409 to confirm current availability.
How do I know if my home has asbestos?
You cannot identify asbestos by sight alone. Any material in a pre-1990 home that you suspect may contain asbestos should be tested by an accredited laboratory before disturbance. Common ACMs include floor tiles, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, duct wrap, and exterior siding.
Is asbestos removal required by law in Ontario?
Yes. Ontario Regulation 278/05[1] requires that any work that may disturb asbestos-containing materials must be performed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor following specific procedures. Failure to comply can result in significant fines and liability.
