Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction materials before its dangerous health effects were discovered. Asbestos fibers are incredibly small, and when inhaled, they can cause serious health conditions such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, including:

• Insulation
• Floor tiles
• Pipe insulation
• Roofing materials
• Cement products
• Wallboard
• Textured coatings

If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is important to contact a professional asbestos removal company to safely and effectively remove the materials.
