Planning to sell your home in Victoria or start building in Nanaimo? Maybe you're flipping an older property somewhere in the Cowichan Valley?
Here’s something most people don’t realize until it’s too late: hazardous materials can delay your entire project—or kill the deal entirely.
Here on Vancouver Island, properties built before 1990 are highly likely to contain some combination of asbestos, lead paint, or hidden mold. That charming character home might be full of charm... and full of hazards.
A Hazmat Survey Is More Than Just a Box to Check
WorkSafeBC mandates hazardous materials inspections before any significant renovation or demolition. But even if you’re just selling your home, an inspection is one of the smartest steps you can take. Why? Because nothing derails a sale faster than surprise asbestos during the home inspection phase.
