Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials until the 1980s. Asbestos was used in construction materials such as insulation, roofing, flooring, and ceiling tiles because of its fire-resistant and durable properties. However, asbestos fibers can become airborne and pose a serious health risk when they are inhaled.

Asbestos exposure has been linked to serious health conditions such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. These diseases can take years to develop, and by the time they are diagnosed, it may be too late for effective treatment. Therefore, it is essential to remove asbestos from your building to avoid these health risks.
