Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials and insulation due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, exposure to asbestos fibers can result in serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These health risks are caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers, which can become lodged in the lungs and cause inflammation and scarring over time. As a result, it's important to have asbestos removed from your property if it is present.

Asbestos-containing materials can be found in many areas of older properties, including in roofing materials, insulation, floor tiles, and pipe insulation. As these materials age, they can become brittle and release asbestos fibers into the air, putting anyone who comes into contact with them at risk. Asbestos removal involves identifying and safely removing these materials, reducing the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers.
