What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is known for its heat resistance, strength, and affordability. As a result, it became prevalent in construction and was widely used for years. Over time, research has shown that asbestos might be dangerous and can cause many illnesses. It was banned from being manufactured or used. However, there are still older buildings that might contain it.
Microscopic asbestos fibres cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. Unless it is clearly marked as asbestos, the only way to detect asbestos in an unmarked material is to send a sample to a lab for testing or hire an accredited asbestos inspector.
The Dangers of Asbestos
If you breathe asbestos fibres, you may increase the risk of several serious diseases, including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer.
Asbestos may be found in:
- Cement and plaster
- Building insulation
- House siding
- Floor and ceiling tiles
- Car and truck brake pads
- Furnaces and heating systems
Prior to completing any renovations or repairs, allow our trained professionals to asses the materials so you are properly informed with what you are working with and how to properly remove it.
