Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that can cause serious health problems when inhaled. It was frequently used in construction materials such as insulation, roof shingles, and floor tiles due to its resistance to heat, fire, and electricity. Unfortunately, when these products deteriorate or are damaged, the tiny fibers become airborne and can be inhaled into the lungs, causing serious health problems.

Asbestos-related illnesses such as lung cancer and mesothelioma can take years to develop and are often fatal. That is why asbestos removal is so important. Even if you do not have any visible damage to asbestos-containing materials in your home or office, it is still essential to have them properly removed by qualified professionals.
