Connect with our specialized crews serving Edmonton for related hazardous materials work.
Edmonton has one of the largest stocks of post-war housing in Western Canada. Homes built between the late 1940s and 1990 in neighbourhoods such as Highlands, Westmount, Glenora, Bonnie Doon, Ritchie, Parkallen, Capilano, and Mill Woods commonly contain asbestos in drywall joint compound, textured ceilings, vinyl flooring, and duct wrap, and many attics still hold vermiculite insulation. As infill redevelopment and deep renovations continue across mature neighbourhoods, these materials need to be identified and removed safely before the walls come down.
Our Edmonton services
We offer the same three core services in Edmonton that we deliver throughout the Calgary region. Each has a dedicated page with Edmonton-specific details:
- Asbestos testing in Edmonton: hazardous materials surveys, bulk sampling, and accredited lab analysis before renovation or demolition.
- Asbestos abatement in Edmonton: contained removal of drywall mud, vermiculite, textured ceilings, flooring, and mechanical insulation.
- Mould removal in Edmonton: remediation after frozen pipe bursts, basement flooding, and attic frost, with clearance documentation for insurers.
What makes Edmonton projects different
Edmonton's building stock and climate shape how we plan work in the city:
- Infill and teardown volume: Redevelopment of older lots means a steady flow of pre-demolition hazardous materials surveys. We schedule sampling early so lab results do not hold up your permit.
- Long, deep winters: Extended stretches below -30°C affect containment, negative-air set-ups, and waste handling. We plan heated make-up air and protected waste staging so work continues safely through winter.
- Freeze and thaw moisture: Frozen pipe bursts, attic frost that melts in spring, and basement seepage during spring melt and summer storms are the most common triggers for mould in Edmonton homes.
- Older commercial and industrial buildings: Mid-century office buildings downtown and warehouses in older industrial areas often contain mechanical insulation, fireproofing, and floor tile that must be managed during tenant improvements.
How we work in Edmonton
Every Edmonton project follows the Alberta OHS Code Part 4 and the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual:
- Assessment and sampling: We identify suspect materials and send samples to an accredited laboratory.
- Written scope and quote: You get a clear scope, schedule, and price based on confirmed lab results.
- Notification and containment: We file the required Alberta OHS notification, then build containment with negative air and HEPA filtration.
- Removal and disposal: Material is removed, sealed, labelled, and transported to an approved facility with waste manifests.
- Clearance and closeout: Air clearance results and project documentation are handed over for your permit, insurer, or buyer.
Serving Edmonton and the Capital Region
Our Edmonton service covers the city and surrounding communities, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, and Leduc. If you are unsure whether your property is in our service area, call us and we will confirm.
We continue to serve Calgary and the surrounding region, so property managers and contractors with sites in both cities can use one abatement team for both markets.

How an Edmonton project runs
Every Edmonton job starts with a site assessment and sampling. Once lab results confirm what is present, we deliver a fixed scope and schedule, file the required Alberta OHS notification, build containment, remove the material, and hand over clearance results and waste manifests for your permit file.
- Accredited lab analysis with rush options
- Written scope and quote before work begins
- Clearance and disposal documentation included
Edmonton FAQs
Do you serve Edmonton now?
Yes. Makki Abatement has expanded from Calgary to Edmonton and provides asbestos testing, asbestos abatement, and mould removal across the city and nearby Capital Region communities.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating or demolishing in Edmonton?
Yes. Alberta OHS legislation requires hazardous materials to be identified before they are disturbed. For a demolition or major renovation, contractors and permit reviewers will expect a written hazardous materials assessment. We provide that survey and the lab results that support it.
Which Edmonton homes are most likely to contain asbestos?
Any home built before 1990 can contain asbestos. In Edmonton that includes most houses in mature neighbourhoods such as Highlands, Westmount, Bonnie Doon, Parkallen, Capilano, and much of Mill Woods and Castle Downs. Drywall joint compound, textured ceilings, vinyl flooring, and vermiculite attic insulation are the most common sources.
Can you handle both asbestos and mould on the same Edmonton project?
Yes. Water damage in older homes often exposes both. Our crews are trained for asbestos and mould, so one team can test, contain, and remove both hazards without handing the job between contractors.
