ASBESTOS REMOVAL & DISPOSAL

What Is Asbestos and Why Is It Dangerous?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was widely used in construction materials until its health risks became known. It is often found in:

Insulation (attics, walls, pipes)
Floor tiles and adhesives
Textured ceilings (commonly known as “popcorn ceilings”)
Roofing materials
Drywall and plaster

While asbestos is harmless when undisturbed, it becomes dangerous when damaged, disturbed, or aged, as its fibers become airborne and easily inhaled. Prolonged exposure has been linked to serious health conditions, including:

Asbestosis – Chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers.
Lung Cancer – Increased risk with prolonged exposure.
Mesothelioma – A rare and aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure.

If your property contains suspected asbestos, do not attempt removal yourself. Call a professional immediately.
