Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building and construction for decades due to its heat-resistant and fire-retardant properties. However, it has since been discovered that breathing in asbestos fibers can cause serious and often fatal diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

That's why it's crucial to remove any asbestos material from your building if it is damaged, deteriorating, or if you plan to undertake any renovation or demolition work. However, this process must be carried out by professionals who understand the risks and have the skills and tools necessary to remove the material safely and legally.
