Asbestos was used in a wide range of building materials such as insulation, roofing, flooring, walls, pipes, and more. If your property was built before the 1980s, it is very likely that it contains some form of asbestos. Materials like asbestos cement sheeting and asbestos pipe insulation may contain asbestos fibers that can easily become air-borne when tampered with during demolition or refurbishment activities.

When asbestos materials are disturbed, they release asbestos fibers into the air which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems. Asbestos exposure can lead to a range of health problems such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. These health problems are usually not identifiable until many years after the initial exposure.

Therefore, it is important to hire a professional asbestos removal company that can safely remove and dispose of asbestos-containing materials to minimize the risks and prevent potential health problems and legal liabilities.
