Asbestos is a type of mineral that was commonly used in building materials, including insulation, ceiling tiles, and roofing shingles, until the 1980s. Buildings constructed before this time are likely to contain some asbestos, which can be released into the air when the material is disturbed.

If you are planning any renovation or demolition work on a property constructed before the 1980s, you must have it tested for asbestos before beginning any work. Failure to do so can result in serious health risks and hefty fines.

Asbestos exposure can cause serious respiratory diseases, including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer. These conditions can take years to develop and can be fatal.

Asbestos fibers are invisible to the naked eye and cannot be detected by smell or taste. Therefore, the only way to confirm the presence of asbestos is through professional asbestos testing.
