Our decontamination services in Ottawa
Asbestos and vermiculite removal
Asbestos represents a serious health hazard when its fibres are inhaled. Many Gatineau properties built before 1985 contain asbestos in their insulation, particularly in the form of vermiculite. Our certified technicians perform safe removal, encapsulation when necessary and deliver a certificate of compliance. All our work strictly respects CNESST standards.
Mold elimination
Gatineau’s climate creates conditions conducive to mold. Excessive humidity, water leaks and condensation can quickly create significant contamination. We treat black mold, post-water damage contamination and mold in ventilation systems. Our process identifies the moisture source, completely eliminates mold and disinfects affected areas.
Ventilation system decontamination
Ventilation ducts accumulate dangerous contaminants: mold, bacteria, construction debris and excessive dust. Our NADCA-certified service includes a complete video inspection, contaminant elimination, thorough cleaning and antimicrobial treatment to restore air quality.
Post-disaster cleaning
Spring flooding is common in Gatineau, particularly near the Ottawa River. After water damage, fire or any other disaster, rapid decontamination prevents mold and restores a healthy environment. We respond quickly for water extraction, emergency drying, odour elimination and complete disinfection.
Decontamination challenges specific to Gatineau
Gatineau has a humid continental climate with extreme variations between winter and summer. These conditions create condensation and humidity problems that promote mold growth in basements and poorly ventilated spaces.
Many properties in the historic sectors of Hull and Old Gatineau were built before 1985, a period when asbestos was widely used. Renovations of these buildings often require professional decontamination.
The proximity of the Ottawa River exposes several sectors to spring flooding risks, requiring rapid post-water damage decontamination interventions to prevent mold problems.
