Asbestos is a natural mineral commonly used in building materials such as insulation, floor tiles, roofing, and shingles. Although it was widely used in the past due to its durable and heat-resistant properties, current awareness of asbestos safety risks has led to increased demand for its removal from homes and buildings.

Asbestos can become dangerous when it is disturbed, such as during demolition, renovation, or routine repair work. The small fibers in asbestos can easily break off and become airborne, posing a serious threat to your health if inhaled.

Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause several diseases that can take years to develop, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional help when you suspect the presence of asbestos in your building.
