Asbestos: What It Is and Why Removal is Necessary
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was in wide use until it was proven that exposure to the fibres causes serious lung conditions, including mesothelioma and asbestosis. It had wide application in the construction of many buildings due to its durability, resistance to heat, and ability to fireproof materials. This makes proper removal critical to the health of everyone who comes in contact with the material.
Common locations in Edmonton that could contain asbestos include:
- Attic Insulation: Asbestos can be found in insulation within attics of old homes.
- Ceilings & Drywall: It was in both plaster and drywall products until the 1990s.
- Tiles & Flooring: Lots of houses and buildings here in Edmonton have or had asbestos in the flooring.
- Pipes & Ducts: Asbestos had been widely used for insulation for pipes and ducts.
If you live or work in a property that was built before the 1990s, you should look into getting it inspected to determine if asbestos is present. Long-term health consequences are a serious reality if asbestos is present and is ignored.
