“Many of the structures that were put up before the nineties contained asbestos. At that time, asbestos was a popular construction material. This is because it is a strong material that is fire resistant. It was used as insulation in wood heaters, on electric motor boards and on vinyl floor tiles. Asbestos was also popular in corrugated or flat roof and wall sheeting. Once it was discovered that damaged asbestos is harmful to health, it was no longer used and it became important to do asbestos clearance inspections. If your house was built before the nineties, you will need a professional to carry out asbestos removal from the roof”, said one of the employees of this company.

“There are mainly two forms of asbestos, the non friable asbestos and the friable asbestos. Non friable asbestos has its asbestos fibers bonded with another material such as cement or vinyl. It contains a percentage of asbestos and cannot easily release asbestos fibers into the air unless it is damaged. Non friable asbestos that is in good condition does not pose a health hazard, but will need asbestos clearance inspections. Asbestos fibers that are breathed in are deposited into the lungs and with time develop into respiratory diseases such as lung cancer”, said another employee of this company.
