Asbestos in Nanaimo’s Older Housing Stock

Nanaimo has a significant inventory of homes built between the 1950s and 1980s — the era when asbestos was commonly used in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, drywall compound, and roofing materials. BC law requires a pre-demolition hazardous materials assessment for any structure built before 1990. We coordinate this assessment with licensed environmental consultants before any demolition begins.
