Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner in Devon, it's natural to have concerns about the safety of your property, especially when it comes to asbestos. This hazardous material was widely used in building construction until the 1990s, and it's still present in many homes today. If you're wondering how to test for asbestos in your home, you're in the right place. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're here to guide you through the process and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were once prized for their durability and fire-resistant properties. However, it's now known that asbestos is a carcinogen, and prolonged exposure to it can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. If you live in a home built before the 1990s, it's possible that asbestos is present in your walls, ceilings, or floors.

While it's not always easy to identify asbestos with the naked eye, there are some common signs to look out for. Asbestos was often used in textured ceilings, insulation, and flooring, so if you notice any of these materials in your home, it's worth investigating further. You can also look for warning signs such as worn or damaged materials, which can release asbestos fibres into the air.

While it's possible to purchase DIY asbestos testing kits, these are not always reliable and can put you at risk of exposure.
