Removing asbestos is a complex and hazardous process that should always be handled by certified professionals to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Understanding Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction for its heat-resistant properties. It can be found in various materials, including insulation, roofing, flooring, seam tapes and drywall mud, popcorn ceilings and some paints. While it was commonly used until the 1980s, asbestos poses serious health risks, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, especially when its fibers become airborne.
