Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral that was widely used between the 1950s and 1980s in construction materials due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. Unfortunately, we now know that exposure to asbestos is extremely dangerous to human health and can lead to a variety of illnesses, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Asbestos is commonly found in insulation, roofing materials, flooring, and other building materials used in construction. If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is important to have it surveyed by a licensed professional.
