Marijuana grow-op services in Calgary
ASTRA Restorations, Calgary’s remediation company, professionally remediates commercial and residential properties affected by marijuana grow operations and assists with legal grow-operations to ensure they don’t cause problems like mould.
ASTRA Restorations offers turn-key solutions to property owners and managers whose rental spaces have hosted marijuana grow-ops. While marijuana operations are not toxic like chemical-drug operations, they can still affect property value, property structure, and tenant safety.
Calgary’s ASTRA Restorations has the expert training and experience to safely and effectively restore grow-op-impacted properties and to service properties that currently have grow operations so that those operations don’t negatively impact the property.
As a company that specializes in hazardous materials removal and property restorations, we know how grow operations can affect properties and how to mitigate damage when they do.
Property damage from grow-ops
Marijuana grow-ops can cause structural problems to properties, wrecking the appearance and value of a property and causing safety hazards to future and neighbouring tenants.
The massive humidity caused by the plants has a devastating effect on drywall. It causes water damage and mould, which can contaminate the property for neighbours and future tenants. Mould can cause life-altering health complications, which you, the property owner, can be made responsible for.
Grow-op operators cut into foundations to circumvent power meters. They carve walls, ceilings, and floors to route extensive electrical supply lines to various grow rooms. They do this because residential and commercial properties are not equipped to deal with the excessive power needed for grow operations nor the humidity produced by the plants.
Grow-op assistance
If you are setting up a legal marijuana grow operation, ASTRA Restorations is here to make sure you do this right. A properly set up grow operation will not cause problems. But failures to maintain a proper grow-operation environment can be devastating to both your property and to your plants. Trust us to protect your investments.
We know how to set up grow-ops so they don’t cause mould and ventilation problems. We also know how to provide regular maintenance, how to clean and disinfect surfaces and materials, and how to employ hydroxyls and negative air—all so your plants can prosper.
Grow-op restoration
If your Calgary property needs a cleanup after a grow-operation, Calgary’s ASTRA Restorations is here to remove and resolve all grow-op-created hazards.
Our expert team will begin by clearing your Calgary property so it passes safety-code inspections and indoor-air-quality tests. We then start the restoration process, restoring your property to its original condition.
Remember, improperly set up grow operations cause safety hazards that can affect all aspects of property. As a property owner, it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of your property.

Project Description:
This project was performed with moderate-risk protocols (AAAM Section 5.3, with modifications by a registered occupational hygienist tailored to site conditions and to keep risk of asbestos exposures as low as possible). Excavators removed soil around a 120-foot long transite pipe. Once the pipe was fully exposed, ASTRA marked break areas for easier transportation to the City of Calgary’s asbestos-waste-disposal site.
ASTRA conducted a cleanup of the pipe’s outer surface and applied sealant glue to prevent fibres from being released into the air during cutting. The pipe was broken at set locations to minimize dust. Barriers kept unprotected workers away from the cutting zone. ASTRA Restorations’ registered occupational hygienist monitored the project and generated a final clearance report within one week of project completion.

Project Description:
ASTRA Restoration completed abatement of asbestos-containing exterior stucco of 28 townhouses owned by the Calgary Housing Corporation. We removed the stucco with moderate-risk protocols (AAAM 5.3). ASTRA created partial containments of less than 100 square feet in size, which we fitted with HEPA-filtered-negative-air units. Removal activity was performed mostly by hand tools. Collected abatement material was double bagged and disposed of as asbestos waste. Workers wore half-face respirators with P100 filters and disposable coveralls.
Abatement work was conducted by certified asbestos workers. Work was supervised by a certified hygienist. ASTRA’s certified hygienist daily monitored the removal worker’s personal air and collected air samples from outside the containment structure to check for environmental contamination. He also provided clearance reports to ensure proper abatement procedures.
