Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were used in construction materials because of their strength, durability, and fire-resistant properties. These minerals can be found in a variety of products, including:

• Insulation
• Ceiling and floor tiles
• Roofing shingles
• Siding
• Cement
• Textured paint

If your property was built before 1990, it is likely that asbestos was used in some of the building materials. Asbestos-containing materials are not dangerous unless they are damaged or disturbed, which can release asbestos fibers into the air. That's why it's essential to have a professional asbestos abatement team like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon remove any suspect materials from your property.
