Testing for Asbestos in Pipes: A Guide for Devon Homeowners

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 construction until the 1990s, and it's not uncommon to find it in older buildings. If you suspect that your pipes may contain asbestos, it's essential to test them to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones.

What is Asbestos and Why is it a Concern?

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were commonly used in building materials, including pipes, due to their durability and resistance to heat and corrosion. However, asbestos is a known carcinogen, and prolonged exposure to it can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. If you're planning to renovate or refurbish your property, it's crucial to test for asbestos to avoid disturbing the material and releasing its fibres into the air.
