Attic decontamination, done safely

Removal of vermiculite, asbestos and mould, extraction and restoration, by the book.

Vermiculite, asbestos, mould: these contaminants demand safe, controlled, documented removal. We do it by the book.

Vermiculite and asbestos

Many pre-1990 attics contain vermiculite that may hold asbestos. We perform a safe removal with containment, protective equipment and compliant handling of hazardous materials.

Extraction and restoration

After decontamination, we extract the contaminated insulation, sanitize the attic, then re-insulate to R-50. You end up with an attic that is healthy and high-performing.

Mould

A leaking roof or deficient ventilation causes mould. We treat the cause (roof, ventilation) and the effect (sanitizing), to prevent recurrence.

Always documented

  • Assessment and work plan
  • Containment and protection
  • Compliant removal and disposal
  • Detailed end-of-work report
Our protocol

A controlled removal, from plan to final report

Decontamination can't be improvised. Here is our protocol.

1

Assessment & work plan

We inspect the attic, evaluate the contamination and set a precise removal plan. You know exactly what will be done, and how.

2

Containment & protection

Sealed zone, controlled pressure, protective equipment: nothing circulates between the job site and your living space.

3

Removal & compliant disposal

Industrial vacuum extraction, regulated bagging and disposal of materials per current standards. Everything is traced.

4

Sanitizing & restoration

We sanitize the attic, then re-insulate to R-50. You end up with an attic that is healthy AND high-performing, documented with photos.

FAQ

Your vermiculite and asbestos questions

How do I know if my vermiculite contains asbestos?

Impossible to tell by eye. Only a laboratory analysis can confirm it. Until then, the golden rule: don't disturb it. No work in the attic, no handling. We guide you through safe sampling.

Is it dangerous to leave vermiculite in place?

Undisturbed, it presents a limited risk. The problem starts as soon as you touch it: renovations, running wires, roofing work. It also often complicates insurance and resale, many of our clients remove it when selling or renovating.

Do I have to leave the house during the work?

The job site is contained and under control: the work zone is isolated from the rest of the house. We give you the exact instructions based on the scope, before starting, no surprises on the morning of.

What happens after the removal?

That's where it pays off: sanitized attic, sealed air leaks, new insulation to R-50. You go from a contaminated, under-insulated attic to a healthy, high-performing one, in a single project.

Do you also handle mould?

Yes. And above all, we treat the cause (roof leak, poor ventilation) at the same time as the effect, otherwise mould comes back. That's the advantage of a specialist who also does roofing and ventilation.
