TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2022 / A leading residential and commercial building inspection service in Canada, Inch By Inch Inspections, is helping Canadian property owners have peace of mind with asbestos inspection and asbestos removal services in Toronto to eliminate the possibility of asbestos exposure.
Every year, thousands of Canadians are exposed to asbestos in their homes and workplaces. The Ontario Ministry of Labour reports that there are approximately 1,500 asbestos-related diseases and over 300 annual deaths in Ontario alone. "Most Canadians understand that asbestos is a hazardous material but are unaware of whether that risk applies to them or their property," says Tony Muscat, President of Inch By Inch Inspections. "You can't fight asbestos if you don't know it's there. So we are offering industry-leading asbestos removal services, including inspections, testing, and abatement, as part of our commitment to keep people informed about the dangerous mineral and equip them with the resources to stay safe."
Up until the late 1980s, asbestos was ubiquitous. Its popularity in the construction industry was a result of its fire resistance, durability, and affordability. By 2018, when a comprehensive government ban was put in place, the mineral had already found its way into countless residential, commercial, and public buildings across Canada.
While asbestos-containing materials can go years, even decades, without being detected, it only becomes more of a threat as it ages without undergoing asbestos removal in Toronto. Time causes encapsulating materials to deteriorate, eventually exposing hidden mineral fibres. Unfortunately, it only takes slight contact or movement from renovations or unexpected property damage to disrupt asbestos and send fibres airborne, where they multiply quickly, traveling up to 20 kilometers. Once airborne, the essentially invisible fibres can be easily inhaled and scar the lungs.
Asbestos-related illnesses, such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis typically won't present symptoms until many years after exposure. So, the best way to mitigate the risk of asbestos is with preventative measures. At Inch By Inch Inspections, our team of trained and certified technicians uses advanced technology to collect and test asbestos samples.

Today, asbestos testing in Toronto still reveals that thousands of older homes across Canada contain asbestos-based products. A recent CBC News investigation found asbestos in the attic, walls, and basements of hundreds of homes in Peterborough, ON, a city just outside of Toronto. CBC's Marketplace tested the air and surfaces of over 127 homes built before 1980. Of those homes, 26 percent contained asbestos above the provincial threshold.
