Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials until the 1980s due to its heat-resistant and insulating properties. Unfortunately, asbestos is also extremely hazardous to human health. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, they release microscopic fibers into the air that can be inhaled. These fibers can cause serious health problems, including cancer and lung diseases.

If you suspect that your home or building contains asbestos, it is crucial to have it safely removed by professionals. Asbestos removal should only be carried out by licensed contractors who have the necessary training and equipment to safely contain and dispose of asbestos waste.
