Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials during the 20th century. Asbestos was valued for its insulating and fire-resistant properties and was commonly used in roofing, flooring, insulation, and many other products. However, asbestos is now recognized as a hazardous material that poses a significant health risk to humans when it is disturbed and becomes airborne.

Asbestos is made up of tiny fibers that, when inhaled, can cause long-term health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These health risks make it essential to remove the asbestos from your property safely.
