Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials in the 20th century due to its fire-resistant properties. However, asbestos is now known to be a highly hazardous material that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

If your property was built before May 2000, there is a risk that it may contain asbestos. Asbestos can be found in a range of materials, including ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, wall panels, and flooring.

Asbestos abatement is the process of identifying and removing asbestos-containing materials from buildings to mitigate the risk of exposure to harmful asbestos fibers. As a property owner, it is essential that you take the necessary steps to remove asbestos from your property to keep yourself and others safe.
