Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral that was used extensively in construction materials in the past due to its high heat resistant properties. However, asbestos has been linked to a variety of health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, they release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health issues over time.

Thats why its essential to identify, manage, and remove asbestos from your property, especially if it was built before the year 2000.
