Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory illnesses. It was widely used in building materials until the 1970s when its dangers became well-known. However, many buildings still contain asbestos today, and if it is not disposed of properly, it can release fibers that can cause harm.

Asbestos can appear in various building materials, including insulation, cement, roofing, pipes, and many more. If you suspect that your property has asbestos-containing materials, it is crucial to have it inspected immediately by a professional.
