What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used as a building material because it was cheap, durable, long-lasting, and fire-resistant. It was used in fireproofing, insulation, roofing, and other building materials. Then it was discovered to cause serious health problems. Since then, it was no longer used for buildings. Older houses, made before the year 2000, are likely to still have some asbestos material in it. It’s important to have your property assessed so you will know whether a removal is needed.

Where is it found?

Friable asbestos can be found in thermal insulation, floor tiles, and sprayed-on coatings.
