Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in buildings, vehicles, and industrial applications in the 20th century. The mineral was mined and milled into tiny fibers that were then added to various materials such as cement, insulation, and flooring.

Unfortunately, today asbestos is a well-known carcinogen that can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory illnesses when inhaled. The risk of exposure to asbestos fibers occurs when the materials that contain asbestos are damaged, disturbed, or deteriorated.

That's why it's critical to have an asbestos removal company on call whenever you plan to carry out renovations, demolitions, or any other activities that involve potential asbestos exposure.
