Environmental Remediation & Specialized Construction Services
At Makki Abatement, we believe that property restoration and renovation require a holistic understanding of both environmental hazards and structural integrity. Our service portfolio is designed to guide property owners through the most technical phases of construction: the identification and removal of hazardous materials, followed by the surgical demolition needed for renovation and reconstruction.
By maintaining a dual-focus on environmental safety and precision construction, we provide a seamless workflow for residential and commercial clients across Calgary, Okotoks, Chestermere, Cochrane, Airdrie, and Canmore.

Hazardous Material Abatement & Remediation
The first pillar of our expertise is the management of regulated environmental hazards. In the Calgary region, many structures built prior to 1990 contain legacy materials that pose significant health risks if disturbed. Our abatement division is certified to handle:
- Asbestos Abatement & Removal: From popcorn ceilings and cottage cheese textures to drywall and plaster, we provide 24/7 remediation to ensure your air quality is never compromised.
- Asbestos Testing: Certified bulk sampling and lab analysis to confirm the presence of mineral fibers before project commencement.
- Mould Abatement: Comprehensive fungal remediation, moisture mapping, and black mold removal to restore healthy indoor environments.
- Lead-Based Paint Removal: Safe stripping and disposal of legacy lead coatings using HEPA-shrouded containment.
- Decontamination Cleaning: Post-disturbance HEPA cleaning of contaminated spaces, contents, and ventilation systems, finished to a verified clearance standard.
- Biohazard & Encampment Remediation: Sharps recovery, biohazard cleaning, and documented disposal for vacated commercial and municipal sites.
Choosing the right abatement service in Calgary
Most callers know something is wrong before they know what to ask for. The distinctions below are the ones that actually determine scope, cost, and sequence — and getting them right at the first phone call usually saves a site visit.
| Your situation | Where to start |
|---|---|
| You are planning a renovation or demolition on a pre-1990 building and need to know what is in it | Asbestos testing — sampling and permit-ready reporting before work starts |
| Testing confirmed asbestos-containing material and it needs to come out | Asbestos abatement — containment, removal, and disposal of the source material |
| Something was already cut, broken, or flooded, and the space is contaminated | Decontamination cleaning — cleaning the space, contents, and HVAC after the fact |
| There is visible growth, a musty smell, or a moisture problem | Mould abatement — moisture diagnostics, remediation, and clearance |
| Legacy paint on trim, steel, or masonry is being disturbed | Lead paint abatement — lead-safe containment and clearance sampling |
| Interior elements need to come out cleanly ahead of a rebuild | Selective demolition — surgical strip-outs and structural prep |
| A vacated property needs sharps, biohazard, and debris remediation | Encampment cleanup — recovery, disposal chain, and site records |
| A whole building is coming down and every regulated substance needs identifying at once | Hazmat testing — one multi-substance survey covering the full register |
| You employ people and need to know what they are being exposed to at work | Industrial hygiene consulting — worker exposure monitoring and control plans |
| The question is about land, groundwater, or an ecosystem rather than a building | Environmental services — site assessment, hydrogeology, and remediation |
If more than one row applies — and on older Calgary buildings that is the norm rather than the exception — a single assessment covers all of them. We scope the work in the order that avoids disturbing one hazard while dealing with another, which is usually testing first, removal second, and cleaning last.
Selective Demolition & Structural Prep
We bridge the gap between "Hazardous" and "Structural." Unlike our sister firm, Makki Demolition, which specializes in total structural wrecking and site clearing, Makki Abatement focuses on Selective Demolition.
This surgical approach is designed for interior renovations and tenant improvements where specific elements must be removed without affecting the building's core structure. Our team manages the delicate crossover where a wall removal might uncover hidden asbestos in drywall or mold growth, handling both the demolition and the remediation simultaneously.
Serving the Calgary Metropolitan Region 24/7
Hazardous material discoveries and structural emergencies don't stick to business hours. Makki Abatement operates a fully mobile, 24-hour fleet to ensure that our neighbors in the Bow Valley and the Greater Calgary Area have access to certified experts whenever a crisis arises. Whether you are in the heart of Downtown Calgary or the mountain communities of Canmore, our safety-first approach remains the industry standard.
