Is there asbestos in your home or workplace?
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that was used in thousands of building materials until the 1980s before it was proved to be cancer causing agent.

What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that resists exposure to fire, sound, water, and chemicals. Since asbestos naturally resists these elements, it was used in thousands of products and building materials. Yet, the benefits of asbestos could not outweigh one major drawback: If asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, it can lead to mesothelioma, a deadly cancer.
Why test for asbestos?
Testing for asbestos is easy, protects your health, and can give peace of mind before renovating or purchasing a home.
When should you test for asbestos?
