What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials until its danger to human health was recognized. It is made up of microscopic fibers that can easily become airborne and then inhaled into the lungs. Once inhaled, these fibers can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos was commonly used in a wide range of building materials, including insulation, ceiling tiles, roofing materials, and floor tiles. It is often found in older buildings, but it can also be present in newer buildings that were constructed using materials that contained asbestos.

What to Do if Your Property May Contain Asbestos

If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is important to have it tested as soon as possible. Asbestos can be dangerous if it is disturbed or damaged, as this can release the fibers into the air. If you are planning any renovation or demolition work on your property, it is essential to have it tested for asbestos beforehand.
