Understanding Asbestos and Why Safe Removal Matters
Asbestos was once a popular building material, valued for its strength and heat resistance. Today, we know that asbestos exposure poses serious health risks, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. If your property was built before the 1990s, asbestos may still be hidden inside—making awareness and safe removal essential for homeowners and businesses alike.
Where Asbestos Hides in Your Property
Asbestos-containing materials can be found in:
- Pipe and attic insulation
- Vinyl flooring and ceiling tiles
- Roofing materials and siding
- Textured paints and drywall compounds
These materials are usually safe if left undisturbed. The real danger comes when asbestos is cut, damaged, or disturbed during renovations or repairs. This can release tiny asbestos fibres into the air, which are easily inhaled and extremely hazardous.
Why Professional Asbestos Removal is Critical
DIY asbestos removal is never safe. Without proper training and equipment, you risk spreading asbestos fibres throughout your property and exposing yourself and others to harm. WINMAR®’s certified asbestos abatement professionals use specialized tools and strict safety protocols to:
