Should My House Be Tested for Asbestos in Devon?

As a homeowner in Devon, it's natural to have concerns about the safety of your property. One potential hazard that may be lurking in your home is asbestos. This toxic substance was widely used in construction materials until the 1980s, and it can still be found in many buildings today. But how do you know if your house contains asbestos, and what should you do about it?

The Risks of Asbestos in Your Home

Asbestos is a serious health risk, and exposure to it can cause a range of serious illnesses, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. If you suspect that your home contains asbestos, it's essential to take action to protect yourself and your family. The good news is that asbestos is relatively easy to identify and remove, and there are many experts in Devon who can help you do so.

How to Identify Asbestos in Your Home

So, how do you know if your house contains asbestos? There are a few telltale signs to look out for. Asbestos was often used in insulation, roofing, and flooring materials, so if you have any of these materials in your home, it's worth investigating further. You can also look for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or damage, which can release asbestos fibres into the air. However, the only way to be sure is to have a professional asbestos survey carried out.

Our team of experts at 1st Choice Asbestos will visit your home, take samples of any suspect materials, and send them to a laboratory for analysis.
