Asbestos Remediation
Prior to the 1980s, asbestos was a common component of many building materials and flame retardants. Asbestos-containing materials have since been banned from use in construction due to the dangers that deteriorating or damaged asbestos products pose to the public.
In recent years, exposure to asbestos fibers, particles and dust has been linked to a variety of serious, sometimes fatal, health issues, including mesothelioma and cancer of the lung, larynx and ovary.
If you suspect that your property contains Asbestos-Containing Building Materials (ACBM), you need to take action before conducting any renovations or new construction.
