Asbestos is a naturally occurring material that was widely used in building construction from the 1950s through the 1980s. Unfortunately, it was discovered later that asbestos exposure can lead to serious health conditions, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

While asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are generally not dangerous if left undisturbed, any damage or wear-and-tear can create a serious risk to your health. That's why it's crucial to have any suspected ACMs tested and removed by a licensed professional.
