Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in construction for decades. It was commonly used for insulation, fireproofing, and soundproofing. Although asbestos is no longer used in construction, it does exist in many older buildings. Asbestos becomes hazardous when it is disturbed, causing the tiny fibers to become airborne, which can be dangerous when inhaled.

Asbestos can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. It is important to have a professional asbestos survey team check your property to assess the risk of exposure.
