Asbestos removal in Calgary, done by the book.

Soar Environmental removes asbestos from homes, commercial buildings and properties headed for demolition. Abatement is all we do.

What we remove

The materials we see most in pre-1990 buildings

Popcorn and stipple ceilings

Friable texture. High-risk removal under full enclosure.

Vermiculite attic insulation

Treated as asbestos unless a suitable test says otherwise.

Vinyl floor tile and black mastic

Low risk when intact and removed wet with hand tools.

Drywall joint compound and plaster

Moderate or high risk, set by area and method.

Pipe, boiler and tank insulation

Glove bags for pipe runs, full enclosure for larger work.

How a job runs

From your survey to your closeout package

  • Number 1

    Send your survey

    An independent hygienist’s survey shows what is asbestos, where, and how much. No survey yet? We’ll help you arrange one.

  • Number 2

    Get an itemized quote

    Priced by material, risk level and containment, with unit rates agreed up front for anything extra found behind walls.

  • Number 3

    We notify and plan

    Alberta OHS notification, help with your city’s permit paperwork, and a site-specific hazard assessment.

  • Number 4

    Contain and remove

    Work area isolated, material removed wet, waste bagged as we go.

  • Number 5

    Independent clearance

    A hygienist inspects and air-tests before containment comes down.

  • Number 6

    Closeout package

    Notification, logs, air results, clearance letter, shipping documents and weigh tickets.

Builders: what does your city need?

Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge each have their own asbestos step before a demolition permit.
