If you’re looking for a real business with high demand, strong earning potential, and meaningful work, Jim’s Hazmat Division delivers.
At the heart of its fast growth is Sam, the divisional leader who’s turned hazardous material removal into one of Jim’s Group’s most critical and profitable service franchises.
From Building Inspections to Hazmat: Sam Robertson’s Shift into Environmental Control
Sam didn’t plan to lead one of the fastest-growing franchises in environmental services.
It started with asbestos testing under Jim’s Building Inspections.
But clients didn’t just want reports—they wanted action.
“The division started with some licensed asbestos removalists… and then we got into mold remediation and hazardous mold projects.”
That shift led Sam to form Jim’s Hazmat, expanding quickly into:
- Asbestos removal
- Mold remediation and cleaning
- Methamphetamine decontamination
- Flood damage and biohazard cleanup
- Crime scene and hoarding cleanups
Sam saw that what clients needed wasn’t just cleanup—it was full environmental control.
That’s what Jim’s Hazmat delivers.
Asbestos and Mold Removal: Why Jim’s Hazmat Is in High Demand
Mold Remediation Done Right
Australia’s building practices trap moisture.
That means mold grows fast and comes back when not handled properly.
“Bleaching or just cleaning the mold just takes away the look of it… you’ve got to starve the spores.”
Jim’s Hazmat doesn’t just wipe it down.
The team dries out the environment, removes all sources of moisture, and eliminates the spores.
That’s what separates a cheap fix from a real solution.
Licensed Asbestos Removal
One in three homes in Australia still contains asbestos.
The rules are strict, and for good reason.
“Work Safe wants you… if you’re going to remove half a bathroom, you remove the whole bathroom.”
Jim’s Hazmat uses licensed asbestos removalists who follow national safety protocols—from sealed workspaces to proper disposal.
Meth Decontamination and Biohazards: Jim’s Hazmat Handles the Worst
Modern homes are airtight.
That means toxic meth residue stays trapped inside carpets, walls, and ducting.
“Meth is a surface chemical… and new homes are built shut—no ventilation.”
Jim’s Hazmat tests, treats, and clears homes contaminated by methamphetamine.
They also handle biohazards, including blood, trauma, and hoarding cases, where health and safety are critical.
Who Can Join Jim’s Hazmat? What’s the Investment?
Sam’s division is growing, but they’re picky.
They want people who are serious, focused, and ready to learn. Industry experience is helpful but not required.
“We can train you from scratch to be licensed in asbestos removal work… you can still remove asbestos with the licensed operator behind you.”
