Certified Asbestos Removal in Kamloops – Thompson Valley’s Trusted Experts
Kamloops’ dry climate and aging infrastructure (especially pre-1990 homes) make asbestos-containing materials particularly hazardous. We provide WorkSafeBC-compliant asbestos abatement for residential and commercial properties across the Thompson-Nicola region. Every project can start with a coffee and conversation about your specific needs, because we believe asbestos removal should be as stress-free as possible for our neighbors.
Why Asbestos is a Critical Issue in Kamloops Homes & Buildings
Kamloops’ older properties (especially those built before 1990) often contain asbestos in:
Vermiculite insulation
(common in Valleyview and Brocklehurst homes)
Duct wrapping and boiler systems
(frequently found in downtown commercial buildings)
(used in 1960s–80s Sahali and Westsyde residences)
Vinyl floor tiles
The city’s low humidity accelerates material degradation, increasing fiber release risks during renovations. DIY removal violates WorkSafeBC regulations and carries fines up to $10,000 – always hire licensed professionals.
Don’t see your specific concern listed above? Whether it’s suspect ceiling textures in your Aberdeen loft or pipe insulation in your Rayleigh workshop, our Kamloops team has encountered every type of asbestos scenario. We’re happy to discuss your unique situation – no project is too unusual for our specialists.
Essential Asbestos Facts Every Kamloops Resident Should Know
Kamloops-Specific Risks
Approximately 1 in 3 pre-1990 homes in Kamloops contain asbestos (WorkSafeBC estimate)
Most common locations: Vermiculite insulation (Valleyview/Brocklehurst attics), vinyl floor tiles (Sahali split-levels), ducting tape (downtown commercial buildings)
Health & Legal Realities
No safe exposure level: Even brief contact with fibers can cause mesothelioma decades later
BC law fines: Up to $10,000 for unlicensed asbestos removal (WorkSafeBC Penalties)
Disposal rules: BC Federal Regulation requires double-bagged, labeled asbestos waste for all BC Landfills
Protection Tips
Never use power tools on suspect materials (common mistake during DIY renovations)
Always test before demolishing walls/ceilings in pre-1990 properties
Look for: Crumbling insulation, 9"x9" floor tiles, "popcorn" ceilings
