What is a DSS?
A Designated Substance Survey checks for harmful materials like asbestos and lead in residential and commercial properties.
The survey carefully inspects and samples different areas for analysis to identify if these substances are present.
Detailed reports with a quick turnaround time are prepared to comply with Ministry of Labour requirements, ensuring that customers are fully informed and can take the necessary steps to keep their properties safe, especially before renovations or demolitions.
