Asbestos Testing in Toronto & the GTA — Sampled Today, Accredited Results in 24 Hours
Asbestos testing in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area starts at $299 CAD for a single material and includes the technician visit, contained wet sampling, chain of custody and an accredited laboratory report returned in writing within 24 hours. Roughly two thirds of GTA housing predates 1990, and Ontario allowed asbestos in building products well into the 1980s — so pre-1990 is the practical test line here, not 1978.

Kitchen remodel never lost a day
Inspector was here the same afternoon, pulled three samples and the lab report landed in my inbox before the crew showed up the next morning.

Straight answer on our popcorn ceiling
1969 ceiling texture and no idea what was in it. The report was plain English with a photo of every sample point, and the $50 came off without me asking twice.

Fast and professional
Booked at nine, sampled by one. They sealed every spot they touched and vacuumed the area before leaving.

Insurance wanted documentation
Our carrier asked for lab documentation after a water loss. The chain-of-custody paperwork was exactly what the adjuster needed.

Good value, quick turnaround
Two-minute phone quote with no runaround. Results back inside a day as promised. Only wish weekend slots were easier to grab.

Peace of mind before demo
We were taking out a load-bearing wall in a 1976 house. Negative result and the written report kept the permit moving.

Honest, zero upsell
They never pitched me removal work. Just testing, results and a clear explanation of what the numbers actually meant.

Patient with a nervous homeowner
I was worried about my kids being in the house. The inspector walked me through containment and what was genuinely a risk.
