Asbestos was widely used in Canadian construction from the 1950s through the late 1990s, appearing in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling boards, and pipe wrapping. Many Saskatoon properties built before 1990 still contain it today.
The material is generally low-risk when left undisturbed. The danger surfaces during renovations or demolitions, when cutting or scraping releases fibres into the air. Once inhaled, those fibres can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis, sometimes decades later.

At To The Rescue Restoration and Construction Services, our Asbestos Inspection Testing Services in Saskatoon are designed to give property owners a clear, accurate picture of what is present before any work begins. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to identify all materials that might contain asbestos, followed by certified lab testing to confirm findings before any action is recommended.
Our asbestos inspection testing services in Saskatoon cover:
Since March 2015, any building permit for demolition, alteration, or renovation of a pre-1990 structure requires a completed Asbestos Removal Notification form. This applies to both residential and commercial properties, with responsibility resting on the owner or contractor.
Property owners must also maintain a current inventory of asbestos-containing materials, inspect them regularly, and establish safe work procedures before any disturbance occurs. Our certified Asbestos Inspection Testing Services Saskatoon team helps you meet all of that efficiently, keeping your project on track and fully compliant.

Visual inspection alone cannot confirm it. Testing involves taking samples from suspect materials like insulation, ceiling tiles, or drywall compounds and sending them to a certified lab for analysis. If your property was built before 1990, a professional inspection is strongly advisable before any renovation begins.
Yes, in most cases. All materials that will be disturbed must be tested beforehand. The City of Saskatoon and Saskatchewan's Occupational Health and Safety Division are firm on this, and non-compliance can result in project shutdowns and fines.
An inspection is a visual assessment to identify suspect materials. Testing is the laboratory process that confirms whether asbestos is actually present. For most pre-1990 properties, both steps together are the recommended approach.
