Before we delve into our asbestos survey services, let's understand what asbestos is. Asbestos is a mineral that was extensively used in building construction before the 21st century. It was popular for its many desirable properties, including resistance to heat, fire, and chemicals. However, it's now known that asbestos is incredibly hazardous to human health, and its use is now heavily regulated.

When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, tiny asbestos fibers are released into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health issues, such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. This is why it's critical to identify and manage any existing asbestos in buildings.
