What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a set of naturally occurring fibrous minerals that are resistant to heat and wear. It was used in the past for insulation because it acts as an excellent barrier against fire, water, steam, air, smoke-borne particles, and noise.

The common colors of asbestos include white or brown. White asbestos can be easily identified by its high tensile strength while brown fibers are less strong than their white counterparts.

A team with an extensive background in general construction practices will collect samples from various parts of your building: ceilings; exterior walls; floors; window sills before drilling small holes into them where they'll place the sampling equipment to examine what's happening inside your structure.

The testing process may take anywhere between 30 minutes up to several hours depending on the amount found in a building.

Why is Asbestos Dangerous?

Asbestos is dangerous because it can lead to long-term health conditions. Some of the most well-known diseases caused by asbestos include mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis which are all very serious illnesses.
