Asbestos is a silent Killer.
The use of all forms of asbestos has been banned in Australia since December 31st 2003. However this ban does not apply to asbestos materials installed prior to this date (e.g. asbestos materials in homes)
If you have asbestos on your property that’s in poor condition, the risk to your health increases with the number of asbestos fibres inhaled and with frequency of exposure, no safe level of asbestos exposure for lung cancer or mesothelioma has been identified.
All types of asbestos can break into fibres so small that once they get into the air, they can remain airborne and be inhaled into the lungs, making it difficult for the body to remove them. This has been known to cause asbestosis, mesothelioma, pleural plaques and lung cancer.
HOUSE Building & Pest Inspections are trained to carry out asbestos surveys and sample testing, whether you’re purchasing a property or you’d like to know whether your existing property contains asbestos.
