Asbestos testing can be the difference between life and death. Asbestos exposure can cause severe illnesses, including cancer and death. If you have an older home or building, it is crucial that you have an asbestos inspection and test completed by a certified professional. Disaster Cleanup Services has the answers to your asbestos questions. 

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a fiber that occurs naturally. It is durable, flexible, and fire-resistant. This made it perfect for construction materials. Asbestos has been used in many different types of materials over the years and could be lurking in your home. Below are some of the materials asbestos could be present:

Asbestos cannot be seen and is only found through testing.  Asbestos exposure causes respiratory problems, coughing, cancer, and death. If you are unsure if your home or building has asbestos, the only way to know is through testing. Protect yourself and your family.
