Asbestos-containing materials can be found in any building or premises, including homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and industrial sites. The materials used to contain asbestos are commonly used in ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, roofing, flooring, wallboard, and cement products. If these materials become damaged, they can release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air that pose a significant risk to human health.

Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to the development of serious lung diseases, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Asbestos fibers are microscopic, so inhaling them can cause long-term damage to the lungs with no immediate symptoms.

If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, don't try to remove it yourself. Asbestos removal is a highly specialized process that must be carried out by professionals with the necessary skills, equipment, and training to ensure it's performed safely and effectively.
