Asbestos is a heat and fire-resistant material that was extensively used in building constructions until the late 1990s. Even though it has been banned in many countries around the world, there are still many properties that contain asbestos materials. Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. That's why it's important to have asbestos-containing materials removed from your property as soon as possible.
