Asbestos and Flood Restoration in Multi-Unit Buildings

At AmSteam, we specialize in multi-unit flood restoration and provide comprehensive services to property managers, condo owners, occupants, and insurance companies. With over 20 years of experience, our team is dedicated to restoring flooded properties to their original condition quickly and efficiently while keeping all concerned parties apprised of the details, every step of the way. 

Why Asbestos Matters in Flood Restoration

Many condo buildings constructed before the 1990s used asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) such as drywall joint compound, textured ceilings, vinyl flooring, insulation, and pipe wrap. When these materials become water-damaged, they can deteriorate and release asbestos fibers into the air, creating a hazardous environment for occupants and workers alike.

Our Approach to Safe Asbestos Testing & Remediation

At AmSteam Restoration, we work closely with certified asbestos testing and abatement professionals to ensure that every flood restoration project is handled safely and in compliance with Alberta Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) regulations.

Our process includes:

  • Initial Inspection & Risk Assessment – Identify potential ACMs before any demolition begins
  • Professional Asbestos Testing –Work with accredited third-party labs to confirm the presence of asbestos
  • Clear Communication with Condo Owners & Occupants – Educate stakeholders on necessary precautions and remediation steps.
  • Safe & Compliant Abatement – Partner with licensed and trusted abatement professionals to remove or encapsulate asbestos safely
  • Comprehensive Water Damage Restoration & Rebuild – Full reconstruction services provided by the AmSteam team once the asbestos issue has been resolved
