Information regarding asbestos removal and the treatment of asbestos can be found under this Yellow Pages® heading. Asbestos removal and treatment consists of careful removal of asbestos products from a house, building, or other structure. Although this can be done by the home or building owner, it is recommended that one hires a licensed professional. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre that is used in construction for its strength and insulation capabilities.
Asbestos removal is recommended when any type of demolition, re-modelling, or other means of disturbing the asbestos installed in the building is planned. Asbestos, although useful for its strength and insulation capabilities, has been proven to cause health issues including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other health conditions.
Asbestos particles, if disturbed, break off into microscopic fibres that are the cause of these diseases. If one does have asbestos in their home, they should consider consulting a removal specialist to discuss their options.
