Asbestos Removal Ryde
Need Asbestos Removed From Your Home?
Parts of your home that may contain asbestos?
In the period from the 1950’s through to the 1980’s, asbestos was a popular construction material. It was fairly low-cost, it was strong and durable, and had good insulating properties. Construction companies had no idea how dangerous asbestos was. In 2003, the Government of Australia banned the use of asbestos as a construction material. If you have an older property, you may find asbestos used as wall insulation, and also as floor tiles, in the eaves of your roof and its linings, as well as ceiling board.
Furthermore, many forms of outbuildings such as garages or a tool shed used asbestos as a primary construction material due to its low cost and great strength. These outbuildings can still be in use today, with the owners unaware of the health hazard right above their head.
What is the danger associated with asbestos?
In the form it is used for construction, usually sheets or boards, asbestos is not generally harmful to a person’s health. If it is left alone, it should not cause a problem. However, if it is disturbed and especially if it is broken or cut in some way, it then becomes one of the most serious residential house hazards of our time.
These fibres, if breathed into the lungs will stay lodged in the lungs forever. In the worst case, this could cause a fatal case of mesothelioma (asbestos-related lung cancer). However, there are many less serious health issues caused by asbestos inhalation as well.
