Asbestos removal is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, ACMs that are in good condition and not disturbed are generally not an immediate risk to health. However, if they are disturbed, they may release asbestos fibres into the air, which can be breathed in and cause health problems. Therefore, if you are planning to carry out any renovation or demolition work in a building that may contain asbestos, it is crucial to have the materials removed by a licensed contractor.

Secondly, removing asbestos is necessary for legal compliance. Property owners have a legal responsibility to manage ACMs in their buildings and ensure that they do not pose a risk to employees, tenants, or visitors. Failure to do so can result in fines or legal action.

Finally, removing asbestos can increase the value of your property. If you are planning to sell your property, having the materials removed can give potential buyers peace of mind and make the property more attractive.
