What is asbestos removal and asbestos roof removal?
Asbestos removal and asbestos roof removal are the processes of safely removing and disposing of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its durability, fire resistance and insulating properties. Up until 1997, it was commonly used in a range of construction materials, like cement sheeting, roofing and guttering, flooring, adhesives and insulation materials. So if your Sunshine Coast home or property was built before 1997, there’s a good chance it could have been constructed with asbestos-containing materials.
Although undamaged asbestos is typically considered low risk, damaged or disturbed ACMs can be a serious health hazard, releasing tiny asbestos fibres into the air. These particles are invisible and easily inhalable, leading to a range of incurable diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. Rather than risk asbestos exposure in your own home, it’s essential to test any suspicious materials early and have them removed by a qualified asbestos removal specialist, like Adios Asbestos.

FAQs
How can you tell if there’s asbestos in your property?
As a general rule, if your home or property was built before 1997, there’s a high chance it could contain asbestos. Asbestos can be found almost anywhere, including roofs, fences, eaves, sheds, flooring, pipes, walls and even textiles, so it can often be difficult to identify ACMs. Not to mention, many ACMs look nearly identical to non-asbestos-containing materials. The only way to truly know whether your home contains asbestos is to have the materials professionally tested.
