Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in construction materials due to its durability and heat-resistant properties. However, we now know that prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

If you live or work in a building that was constructed before the 1980s, it is possible that asbestos-containing materials may be present. These materials can include insulation, floor tiles, roofing, siding, and more. That's why it's important to get a professional asbestos survey conducted to determine if your building contains asbestos.
