Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials up until the 1990s. It was valued for its heat resistance and durability, and was commonly used in insulation, flooring, roofing, and other building products.

However, it is now known that exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious and often fatal health problems. Asbestos fibers, when breathed in, can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is important to identify and safely remove asbestos-containing materials from your property.
