Our Removal Process

What Are PCBs and Why Are They Dangerous?

PCBs were widely used in electrical equipment and some building materials from the 1930s through to the late 1970s, when they were banned due to their serious environmental and health impacts. They are persistent in the environment, meaning they don't break down easily and can accumulate in the body over time.

Exposure to PCBs has been linked to immune system damage, hormone disruption, and an increased risk of certain cancers. They are classified as a probable human carcinogen by health authorities.

Where Are PCBs Commonly Found?

  • Older electrical transformers and capacitors
  • Fluorescent light ballasts manufactured before 1980
  • Caulking and sealants used in pre-1980 buildings
  • Some older paints and coatings

When Do You Need PCB Removal?

If you're renovating or demolishing a pre-1980 building, PCB-containing materials need to be identified and properly handled before work begins. Manitoba and federal regulations set out strict requirements for the storage, handling, and disposal of PCB waste. Non-compliance can result in significant liability.

Our Process

How We Handle PCB Removal

We start with an assessment to identify PCB-containing materials and equipment on your property. From there, we develop a removal plan, contain the work area, and safely remove and dispose of all PCB materials in accordance with provincial and federal guidelines including the federal PCB Regulation. Once the work is complete, we provide full documentation confirming the area has been cleared.
