Before we go into more detail about our services, let's first understand what asbestos is and why it is so dangerous. Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was used in a wide range of construction and manufacturing applications, such as insulation, roofing, flooring, cement, and textiles. Its popularity peaked in the mid-20th century, but its health hazards became apparent in the following decades. Today, asbestos is considered a carcinogenic substance and is banned or strictly regulated in most developed countries.

When ACMs are damaged, broken, or disturbed, they release microscopic asbestos fibers into the air. These fibers are so small that they can be inhaled or ingested without being noticed, and they can stay in the body for decades, causing damage to the lungs, the heart, and other organs. Asbestos exposure is the leading cause of mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. It can also cause lung cancer, asbestosis (a chronic lung disease), and other respiratory and digestive disorders.

Asbestos risks are highest for people who work or live in buildings with ACMs that are in poor condition or are being renovated or demolished. However, even low-level exposure to asbestos can lead to irreversible health effects. This is why it is essential to identify, manage, and remove asbestos from your property, whether it is a residential or a commercial building.
