Before we dive into the benefits of our asbestos survey services, it's important to understand exactly what asbestos is and why it can be so dangerous.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry throughout the 20th century. It was prized for its strength, durability, and heat resistance, and was used in a wide range of building materials, including:

• Insulation
• Floor tiles
• Ceiling tiles
• Roofing materials
• Textured coatings
• Pipe insulation
• Electrical insulation

However, it was eventually discovered that asbestos can cause a range of serious health problems if it is inhaled. When asbestos fibers become airborne, they can be breathed into the lungs, where they can cause scarring, inflammation, and even cancer.

Asbestos-related diseases can take years even decades to develop, but once they do, there is no cure.
