Environmental Cleanup

Picture of FirstOnSite environmental expert cleaning mould outbreakAccidents happen. Asbestos remains an issue. Mould can be present without noticeable water damage. Whatever the problem is, we strive to protect, preserve and restore order. Our goal is to put things right – the right way – each and every time.

Asbestos Abatement

A disaster situation can compromise the integrity of asbestos-containing materials, putting occupants and crew at risk of exposure. Our services include emergency repair, removal and encapsulation; licensed waste transportation; consultation to assist in provincial regulatory compliance; and full adherence to infection control measures. Our teams are trained to handle such sensitive environments, and we can mobilize quickly and professionally.

Mould Remediation

Mould exists everywhere, but amplified mould growth can cause severe health problems, and water damage plays a principal role. Mould remediation requires not only cleanup, but also building and water source investigation and repair in order to prevent further growth. We use state-of-the-art technology including moisture meters and thermal imaging technology to determine the extent of water damage and mould growth, ensuring that we can quickly and precisely address the entire problem. We have partnerships with Indoor Environmental Professionals and we adhere strictly to infection control measures, all in order to restore your property and your peace of mind.

Environmental Spills Remediation

Hazardous contaminant spills can have a large and far-reaching impact. They can adversely affect the surrounding environment (natural and man-made), and cleanup costs can escalate quickly. Spills can also disrupt your day-to-day activities, resulting in business interruption or temporary relocation of a business or residence. The ability to mobilize quickly and professionally is the most effective solution to lessen the impact.
Our crews are certified in indoor and outdoor spill mitigation, excavation and on-site remediation, content decontamination and deodorization, structural restoration, indoor air quality remediation and odour control. We have licensed waste transporters and are dedicated to exceeding customer expectations.


Biohazard Decontamination

This high-risk and sensitive work has inherent health and safety risks requiring universal precautions and certifications. Our technicians fully understand the protocols of biohazard cleanup, sanitation and restoration. We deal with all kinds of biohazard cleanup – trauma scene decontamination, guano abatement, rodent droppings and carcasses, sewage remediation and odour control.

Hospital Infection Control Measures

Restoration and repair work can create dust particulates, as well as release fumes and other damage-related effects that in a healthcare setting could be harmful to susceptible patients. Our teams carefully adhere to both Health Canada’s and the Canadian Standards Association’s guidelines in order to prevent and contain the by-products of our restoration work.

Our healthcare customers appreciate the fact that we construct containment barriers; offer emergency repairs, removal and encapsulation; build negative air ventilation, take odour, dust and particle control measures; practice noise management; construct decontamination chambers; and consult with business continuity specialists.

We protect, preserve and restore order.
