Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in the construction industry for its heat-resistant and insulating properties. However, it has been linked to serious health issues such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be found in many buildings constructed before 2000 and can pose a significant risk to the health of anyone who comes into contact with them.

It is important to have any suspected ACMs tested and removed by licensed professionals to ensure the safety of the occupants of the property. Asbestos removal is a complex process that requires specialized training, equipment, and protective gear. Attempting to remove asbestos-containing materials on your own can result in serious health risks and even fines or legal action.
