WHAT IS ASBESTOS?
Asbestos is a natural material that was once commonly used in building materials because of its strength and fire-resistant properties. Most commonly used in many places like roofs, walls, and floors. However, we now know that asbestos poses significant health risks when its fibres are released into the air.
If you breathe in asbestos fibres, it can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and other respiratory issues. That’s why it’s crucial to get professionals like us to remove it safely. We have the right tools and knowledge to handle asbestos without putting you or your family at risk.
TYPES OF ASBESTOS
Identifying asbestos correctly before any renovation or demolition work begins is crucial. Different types of asbestos-containing materials require specific handling during asbestos removal work. Here are two main types of asbestos you might find in buildings:
FRIABLE ASBESTOS
This type of asbestos is soft and can be easily crumbled by hand, making it the most dangerous because it can quickly release fibres into the air. You might find friable asbestos in old pipe insulation or sprayed-on fire retardants, or fire-damaged homes.
NON-FRIABLE ASBESTOS
Also called ‘bonded’ asbestos, this type is mixed with other materials like cement and is less likely to release fibres unless it’s damaged or worn. Non-friable asbestos is often found in things like roof sheets, walls and ceilings.
Understanding these different types helps us plan your property’s safest and most effective asbestos removal strategy.
