Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral found in many building materials that were used in the construction industry before the 1970s. It was commonly used as insulation, fireproofing, roofing, and flooring. Exposure to asbestos fibers can have serious health consequences, including fatal illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is important to have it inspected and tested as soon as possible to avoid any potential health risks.
