dalia from Toronto

Earlier this year I asked a general contractor to look at some mold that seemed to be growing on the wall inside my utility closet, when he reached up to turn on the light he looked up and said, to my horror, “did you know that was asbestos”? Turns out there was a wood beam visibly covered with an Asbestos wrap, probably from 30 years ago and someone had even cut in to it to install a light bulb. I freaked out and immediately started looking up abatement companies and found Canada’s Restoration Services who were rated number one. They put me in touch with Alan of Allmax Home Inspections (who was also rated number one & deserves that title!) who came over to take samples of the asbestos and mold. . Within a week Alan called me back to tell me the air was clear of mold but I was still concerned about the asbestos so he came back and tested the air for asbestos. The asbestos test came back clear but just knowing it was there was making me crazy. I decided to go with Canada’s Restoration Services for the removal. Alex from Canada's Restoration came out to visit and have a look at the asbestos. He didn't seem overly concerned as it was in a contained area that was barely frequented, however he gave me options, walked me through the removal process and gave me a quote and left it to me to decide. He was knowledgeable, friendly and not pushy at all. I debated about what to do and decided to remove it. Alex sent Jason, a certified asbestos removal technician and supervisor to remove the asbestos. Jason and his partner were on time and really friendly and professional and made the whole process way less painful that what I was expecting. He walked me through the process and even called to give me updates. He even noticed some other suspect area's of mold. When I got home the site was totally spotless, and they had cleaned inside the utility closet and even removed old gross tiles and swept where it had never been swept before. When Alan came back to do the final asbestos tests he said he could tell just by the smell and the cleanliness of the space that the job had been done well. I was super paranoid that the test would come back showing asbestos in the air and I even called Jason and Alex a bunch of times and they were so patient putting my mind at ease. I think I may have been their most paranoid client!!! When Alan called a week later with the results that there was no asbestos present I was ecstatic. Thank you to Alex and Jason and your team at Restoration Services for being so patient, professional and helpful !!!
