A naturally occurring mineral, it was once hailed as a ‘miracle material’ used in building and construction for its heat resistance, strength and insulating properties. However, it has been found to pose serious health risks when its fibres become airborne and are inhaled. At Brajkovich Demolition & Salvage, we understand the dangers of asbestos Asbestos and are committed to providing safe, efficient and professional asbestos removal services in Perth.
Why is Asbestos Dangerous?
When materials containing asbestos are disturbed, tiny asbestos fibres are released into the air. When inhaled, these fibres can cause diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that most often occurs in the lining of the lungs. Hence, asbestos disposal is crucial to keeping your health in good condition at home.
How is Asbestos Identified?
Asbestos was widely used in homes and buildings in Perth and Australia until the mid-1980s. It can be found in various materials, including roofing, shingles siding, insulation, floor tiles and pipe cement. If your property was built before the 1990s, there’s a chance it may contain asbestos. Asbestos identification isn’t simple, as it can’t be done by looking at a material. It requires a licensed basestos assessor or asbestos removal professionals who may have the material checked by an accredited asbestos testing lab. Asbestos fibres are tiny and difficult to distinguish. So, asbestos disposal requires top-notch professionals to extract asbestos from a reliable asbestos removal company successfully.
