What We Actually Do

At United Environmental Consulting, we specialize in environmental testing, monitoring. Operating primarily out of Saskatoon and Regina, we serve both commercial and residential clients across Saskatchewan, as well as Northeast and Central Alberta. Essentially, UEC provides the scientific testing and safety oversight required when dealing with hazardous indoor materials. We are the experts hired before, during, or after renovations, demolitions, or environmental disputes to ensure a building's air is safe. We do not do the physical demolition (that is the job of an abatement contractor); we run the lab tests, monitor the safety of the air during the cleanup, and legally certify that a space is safe to inhabit afterward.

Let's break it down

Our Core Services

  1. Asbestos Testing and Assessment

    Material Sampling: They physically collect and test suspect materials for asbestos (Asbestos-Containing Materials, or ACMs). This includes bulk sampling of drywall or tile, vermiculite insulation testing, and specialized microscopic dust sampling.

    Building Surveys: They conduct comprehensive building assessments to locate, catalog, and document where asbestos is hiding within a structure before work begins.

  2. Asbestos Abatement Air Monitoring

    Safety Oversight: When asbestos is actively being removed by contractors, UEC is brought in as an independent third party to monitor the air quality before, during, and after the project.

    Regulatory Compliance: They ensure the air meets strict occupational safety standards (specifically the NIOSH 7400 method) so that microscopic, toxic fibers do not escape into residential or public breathing spaces.

  3. Mould Testing

    Air and Surface Sampling: If a building has experienced water damage, flooding, or suspected fungal growth, UEC takes targeted air and swab samples. These are used to identify the specific types and concentrations of mould present to guide the cleanup process.

  4. HEPA Filtration Certification

    Equipment Verification: Hazardous material cleanups rely heavily on specialized HEPA vacuums and negative-air scrubbers. UEC tests this industrial equipment to detect seal leaks or defects, certifying that it is functioning correctly and actually trapping dangerous particles.

  5. Training and Education

    Asbestos Awareness Course: They offer a two-day training program that teaches workers, contractors, and safety personnel the necessary skills, knowledge, and legal procedures required to safely manage and abate asbestos.

Why Clients Choose Us

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Jacob Laxdal at UEC Consulting was instrumental in helping us navigate a very stressful mold and asbestos situation in our home. From December 2024 through April 2025, he performed initial mold testing, coordinated with our remediation contractor, and conducted final clearance testing. We discovered serious mold issues just months after buying our first home with two small children. Jacob was an incredible source of knowledge, advice, and calm during an overwhelming time. He answered countless questions from both me and my wife with patience and clarity, walking us through the risks and options whenever we were confused or anxious. His initial testing identified "abundant" fungal growth in our attic that had clearly been accumulating for years - information that was critical for understanding what we were dealing with. He then helped coordinate the safety plan for our remediation and performed thorough pre-contamination inspections and final clearances. We always felt completely confident in his methods and professionalism. His reports were detailed and clearly explained, and he was always responsive and easy to communicate with. If you need environmental testing or consulting, especially for a stressful situation involving mold or asbestos, I cannot recommend Jacob and UEC highly enough. His expertise and reassuring manner made a difficult situation much more manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your question? Give us a call (639) 638-3464

I'm planning to renovate my older home. Do I really need Saskatoon asbestos testing before I start tearing down drywall?

Yes, absolutely. Homes built or renovated prior to 1990 commonly contain hidden asbestos in drywall joint compound, insulation, and vinyl flooring. If you accidentally disturb these materials during a renovation, you risk severe asbestos exposure for anyone in the building. As a top provider of environmental solutions and services, we strongly advise having our team conduct thorough asbestos testing before you begin any demolition. This proactive step ensures your indoor air remains safe and that you aren't liable for unsafe living conditions.

I’m worried about my family’s health. What actually happens when I hire you for asbestos testing?

We prioritize your safety from start to finish. When you book an assessment with us, you can stop searching for "asbestos testing near me." Our trained professionals arrive on-site to conduct a detailed visual inspection and safely collect bulk samples without contaminating your home's air. Those samples are then analyzed using strict laboratory protocols. We’re recognized as an industry leader because we communicate transparently, work efficiently, and provide precise documentation so you know exactly what materials you are dealing with.

If you find asbestos in my property, do you also handle the actual asbestos abatement?

We specialize strictly in the critical testing, building assessment, and monitoring phases of abatement services to avoid any conflict of interest. While we don't perform the physical tear-out ourselves, our asbestos testing Saskatchewan team plays an essential, regulatory role by providing asbestos abatement air monitoring before, during, and after the removal process. We work alongside your hired removal contractors to verify that all safety and environmental protocols are strictly followed, ensuring that the air is 100% clean and safe before anyone re-enters the space.
