Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in building materials due to its heat-resistant and insulating properties. However, asbestos has since been linked to serious health risks, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to these diseases, which can be fatal.

Because of the health risks associated with asbestos, it is important to have any asbestos-containing materials removed from your building. Asbestos can be found in a variety of building materials, including insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and roof shingles. If you suspect that your building contains asbestos, it is important to have it tested and removed by a professional asbestos removal company.
