Asbestos Roofing

Asbestos roofing is commonly found in garages, sheds, and even houses that were built before the 1990s. Asbestos was used to make roofing material due to its fire-resistant qualities.

The most commonly found asbestos roofing material is cement sheets that contain a combination of asbestos and cement. The asbestos fibres are bonded with cement, making the material safe to handle as long as it remains intact.

The issue arises when the cement sheets become damaged or old, and the asbestos fibres become airborne. The grey, corrugated material you see on your garage roof is an asbestos risk.

Wrapped asbestos is another commonly found asbestos roofing material. It's commonly found in older garages and sheds. Wrapped asbestos is asbestos rope that is wrapped around pipes or roofs.

Wrapped asbestos can be more dangerous as the fibres are not bonded with any material and can become airborne easily.

In houses, asbestos can also be found in floor tiles, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, and other areas that required a fire-resistant material.

Health Concerns

The inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to serious health issues such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Therefore, it's important to take precautions when removing asbestos.

If the garage roof is in good condition and not damaged, it's possible to leave it as is, but most homeowners prefer to remove it to avoid any health risks to themselves and their families.
