Mould Remediation & Asbestos Abatement Services in Manitoba

Mould & Asbestos should always be treated by a professional, like Priority Restoration to minimize health risks to you and your family.

What is Mould?

Mould is a fungus that can be found in damp building materials where it often appears like stains and comes in a variety of colours. A musty smell is an indication of microbial growth even when there is no visible growth. If mould is allowed to grow in buildings it can contribute to poor indoor air quality. Some moulds such as the Dry Rot Fungus – Serpula lacrymans, are highly destructive.

If your home has suffered water damage, mould can become an immediate risk to your property and your health. Seeking professional environmental services is critical in the first 48 hours to control the environment and mitigate the opportunity for mould growth to occur.

If you do find mould, we do not recommend that you attempt to clean it with household products such as bleach.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral once widely used in the construction industry. It’s strength, flexibility, ability to withstand high temperatures and resist chemical degradation made it useful in hundreds of applications.

Left undisturbed, asbestos-containing materials do not pose a health risk. However, if any of these materials becomes compromised due to fire or water damage or is deliberately disturbed during renovations, the asbestos particles can become airborne. Exposure to these particles can lead to serious health implications, such as Mesothelioma (a type of lung cancer) or asbestosis (scarring of the lungs).

Any building built before 1990 has the potential to contain asbestos-containing materials.

What Building Materials Could Contain Asbestos?

Any building built before 1990 has the potential to contain asbestos containing materials (ACM).

Common building materials that may contain asbestos include:

  • Cement board
  • Drywall taping compound
  • Flooring tiles
  • Pipe wrap
  • Plaster
  • Texture coatings (popcorn ceilings)
  • Vermiculite insulation

Testing for Asbestos

Priority Restoration follows the Manitoba Guidelines for Asbestos Management. Before providing any restoration or renovation services to properties built prior to 1990, we test all possible asbestos-containing materials within the affected areas.

If the materials should test positive for asbestos, our qualified Asbestos Technicians can safely and effectively remediate these materials without causing significant delays to your claim or renovation project.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Priority due to an insurance claim. Priority was professional and quick to respond to all of my questions. Great work, we will definitely recommend Priority to our family & friends in the future!

Priority and all their staff were great to work with during our Insurance Claim repair, which included 3 major areas of our home and the coordination of an unexpected Asbestos Remediation. They staff a crew of knowledgeable experts and trades people that did excellent, quality work as well as a very communicative and collaborative project management team. I would highly recommend Priority for any repair work or insurance claims.

I will definitely be asking for them in to do more work in future.

It was truly a pleasure working with ALL of the Priority Restoration staff, from my initial panicked claim to the completion of the project. Everyone was professional, personable and kind. I cannot thank all of the staff with whom I’ve interacted for their help with my recent claim. If I need help for future projects, I definitely know where I’ll go first. 

Kathleen Sobba

 

Priority was thorough, and precise with their restoration for us. We had an insurance claim, and priority was kind enough to wait until we had an attic specialist come by resolve our ice damming issue.

Plus priority removed our mold growth and unexpected asbestos safely, just a few road blocks with an old home, thanks guys.

The best part was having an email in the morning from Rosi, explaining what was done that day and what we can expect moving forward.

Thank you Priority for giving me back my home in better condition than when I purchased it.

Once the deconstruction from our water damage was done, Priority Restoration gave us a projected schedule for the reconstruction that was spot on. Their workers showed up on time and were very professional. They unfailingly tidied up any mess when they left, even if they were coming back the next day! Their work was excellent and they all took the time to explain what was happening and what the steps would be. Tony and Rosy were especially helpful and patient. We are very pleased with the work that they did which included some fancy dry-walling that saved us from having to retile our bathroom. We would not hesitate to use Priority again! 

Bevan Lawson

 

We recently had Priority restoration take over our insurance claim when the first company was not able to handle or complete our claim. As soon as we had Priority take over, we were kept well informed, everything was explained and handled professionally and in a timely manner. My basement including our custom baseboards were back to what we had. Highly recommend! 

Michele Pratcshler

 

Priority Restoration has worked with us on two occasions in the past two years and have been outstanding with both (most recently they did work on our roof and interior ceiling). Project Management (Brian) and all contractors were professional and pleasant in their work, communication and scheduling. The quality of work was amazing. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely contact them again and recommend without hesitation.
