Before we talk about asbestos removal costs, let's start with the basics. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and manufacturing until the late 20th century. Its heat resistance, strength, and insulation properties made it ideal for products such as roofing shingles, ceiling tiles, cement, automotive parts, and textiles.

However, we now know that asbestos is highly toxic when its fibres become airborne and are inhaled by humans. Asbestos fibres are sharp, microscopic, and durable, and they can stay in the lungs for decades without causing any symptoms. Over time, they can cause inflammation, scarring, and cancerous growths in the lungs, chest, abdomen, and other organs. Asbestos-related diseases, such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer, can be fatal and have no known cure.

Therefore, it's crucial to identify and remove asbestos-containing materials from buildings before they pose a health risk to occupants, workers, or the general public. That's where our team comes in.
