How Asbestos Soil Remediation Works
Asbestos-contaminated soil is common on old building and demolition sites, farms and rural properties, and anywhere fibro, roof sheeting or pipes were broken up and buried in the past. Once it has been identified, our licensed team plans the job and sets up controls to keep fibres out of the air — such as wetting the soil down and fencing off the work area — then excavates the affected soil and contains it ready for disposal.
Contaminated soil is taken to an EPA-licensed facility as asbestos waste, and we give you the disposal paperwork for your records. Where a clearance inspection or air monitoring is needed, we arrange it through independent licensed hygienists. We work on residential blocks, building and demolition sites, commercial properties and farms across Ballarat, Geelong, Melbourne’s west and Western Victoria.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the soil on my property contains asbestos?
Warning signs include broken pieces of fibro, roof sheeting or pipe in the ground — especially where an older building was demolished, burnt or renovated, or where fill of unknown origin was brought in. Asbestos can’t be confirmed by sight, so the only way to be sure is to have samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We can arrange this through independent licensed hygienists before any work starts.
Can I remove asbestos-contaminated soil myself?
We strongly advise against it. Digging or moving contaminated soil can release dangerous fibres, and in Victoria most asbestos removal work must be done by a licensed removalist, with the waste transported and disposed of as asbestos waste under EPA rules. Using a licensed team keeps you, your family and your neighbours safe, and makes sure the job is properly documented.
What happens to the contaminated soil after it is removed?
The soil is wetted down, wrapped or contained, and transported to an EPA-licensed facility that accepts asbestos waste. We take care of the disposal and give you the paperwork for your records, so there is nothing for you to transport yourself.
Do you work on building sites, farms and commercial properties?
Yes. We remove asbestos-contaminated soil from residential blocks, building and demolition sites, commercial and industrial properties, and farm and rural land across Ballarat, Geelong, Melbourne’s west and Western Victoria.
How much does asbestos soil removal cost?
It depends on the area and depth of contamination, the type of asbestos, site access and the volume of soil to be disposed of. We inspect the site and give you a free, no-obligation quote with a clear scope of work before anything starts.
