Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner in Devon, it's natural to have concerns about the presence of asbestos in your property. Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems if disturbed or damaged. If you're wondering how to test for asbestos at home, you're in the right place. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're dedicated to providing safe and reliable asbestos testing and removal services to homeowners in Devon.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in building materials until the 1980s. It's commonly found in older homes, particularly in insulation, flooring, and roofing materials. When asbestos is disturbed or damaged, it releases tiny fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Identifying asbestos-containing materials at home can be challenging, but there are some common signs to look out for. Asbestos is often found in materials that are damaged, disturbed, or deteriorating. Look for materials that are crumbling, flaking, or have visible signs of wear and tear. Some common asbestos-containing materials found in homes include:

• Insulation around pipes and boilers
• Flooring materials, such as vinyl tiles and linoleum
• Roofing materials, such as corrugated iron and asbestos cement sheets

While DIY asbestos testing kits may seem like a convenient and cost-effective solution, they can be unreliable and even dangerous. These kits often require you to collect samples yourself, which can release asbestos fibres into the air and put you at risk of exposure. Additionally, the results may not be accurate, which can lead to false reassurance or unnecessary panic.

At 1st Choice Asbestos, we offer a professional asbestos testing service that's safe, reliable, and accurate.
