Asbestos is a material that was used widely in building construction in the past due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, asbestos has been found to be a health hazard if inhaled. The tiny fibers in the material can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. These diseases can take years to develop, and symptoms may not appear for decades after exposure to asbestos.

Therefore, it is important to remove asbestos from your building, especially if it is damaged, soiled, or disturbed. Asbestos removal will not only protect your health but also those who live or work in the building.
