What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is fire-resistant and an excellent insulator. It was widely used in construction materials but has also been linked to serious health and safety risks without proper handling.
Why is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibers can become airborne and be inhaled, which causes serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
Where is asbestos most commonly found in buildings?
Asbestos can often be found in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, roofing materials, siding, pipe insulation, and more. It is especially common in buildings constructed prior to the 1980s.
Do I need to remove asbestos if it hasn’t been damaged?
Not necessarily. If the material is still in good condition and undisturbed, it can be safe to leave it in place, though you will need to monitor it for signs of wear or disturbance.
How do you safely remove asbestos?
Our team is trained to follow strict protocols for handling, containing, and disposing of asbestos materials. We use protective gear and special equipment to prevent contamination.
