Asbestos is a highly hazardous material which can cause long-term health problems to those who are exposed to it. When asbestos-containing material (ACMs) are damaged, they can release asbestos fibers into the air. Breathing in these fibers can lead to respiratory illnesses such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Most buildings constructed before 2000, including homes, public buildings, and workplaces, contain asbestos. That's why it's crucial to have a professional asbestos survey undertaken to determine whether asbestos is present in the building or not. An asbestos survey identifies the location, quantity, and condition of ACMs in the property, and enables the asbestos removal company to determine the most appropriate method of removal.
