Your Legal Responsibilities: Asbestos & Renovations in BC
The Reality: In British Columbia, the responsibility for a safe worksite doesn't just fall on the workers—it rests squarely on the shoulders of Homeowners and Prime Contractors. Under the Workers Compensation Act, failing to identify and professionally mitigate hazardous materials like asbestos can lead to immediate stop-work orders, heavy provincial fines, and lifelong health consequences. It is a risk that no renovation budget is worth.
The Solution: At Interior Abatement, we act as your specialized compliance partner. Whether you are a homeowner protecting your family or a contractor protecting your business, we handle the technical heavy lifting—from WorkSafeBC "Notice of Project" (NOP) filings to certified risk assessments and final air clearances. We don’t just remove hazards; we remove the legal and safety burden from your project, ensuring your Vernon or Kelowna job site remains safe, legal, and on schedule.

Our Seamless Safety Process
We handle the high-risk details so your project stays on schedule and in compliance.
Step 1: Testing & Lab Analysis
Before any material is touched, we ensure its safety profile is known. We work closely with certified consultants like Epoch Environmental to perform professional testing and air quality sampling. This data-driven approach allows us to create a precise, legal abatement plan tailored to your property.
Step 2: Expert Containment & Removal
Once a hazard is identified, our WorkSafeBC Licensed team takes over. We establish high-standard containment zones using negative air pressure and HEPA filtration. We meticulously remove asbestos, mould, or lead following the strictest provincial protocols to ensure zero cross-contamination.
Step 3: Clearance & Transformation
After removal, we coordinate a final air clearance test to prove your space is 100% safe for re-entry. With the hazard gone and the paperwork in hand, your property is ready for the next phase—whether that’s a renovation or a full demolition with partners like T-Rex Excavating.

A Local Commitment to Safety
Jordan Siemens founded Interior Abatement with a clear mission: to provide the Okanagan with a higher standard of hazardous material removal. Growing up in Westbank, educated in Kelowna, and now residing in the Vernon area, Jordan is a true local who saw the need for change in the industry.
After witnessing the safety gaps that eventually triggered the 2024 WorkSafeBC regulatory overhaul, Jordan built Interior Abatement to be a leader in compliance and integrity. Today, he works alongside trusted local partners to ensure that every project—from residential mould remediation to large-scale asbestos removal—is handled with the precision and safety our neighbours deserve.

In most cases, yes. We use advanced HEPA-filtered negative air pressure and airtight poly-containment zones to ensure that hazardous fibers or spores are completely isolated from the rest of your home. However, for large-scale demolition or whole-house projects, we will provide a safety recommendation during our initial assessment.
-
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the issue. For example, mould resulting from a sudden pipe burst is often covered, while mould from long-term lack of maintenance may not be. We have extensive experience working with insurance adjusters in the Okanagan and can provide the necessary documentation to help streamline your claim.
-
Most residential projects—such as bathroom mould remediation or attic insulation removal—are completed within 1-2 weeks. Larger commercial projects or full-house asbestos "pre-reno" cleans may take longer. We prioritize efficiency to ensure your renovation or rebuild can stay on schedule.
