What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that has long been used in building materials before we discover the health hazards of it. It is found mainly in plaster, vinyl tiles and plaster but also in a multitude of other materials.

Health risks

Asbestos can be a hazard to the respiratory system. If you are renovating or selling / buying a property, make sure you do not have a property contaminated with asbestos.

Asbestosis

A formation in the lungs of scar tissue, which impede breathing.

Mesothelioma

Rare form of cancer of the chest wall or abdominal cavity.

Lung cancer

Inhalation of asbestos greatly increases the risk of lung cancer.

You can reduce your risk of exposure by hiring a professional who will do asbestos analysis before you undertake renovations, remodeling, demolitions or additions.

Our methodology
I discovered asbestos, am I in danger?

The presence of asbestos is not necessarily a cause for concern. Indeed, the particles of asbestos are toxic only when inhaled. If you have a wall of friendliness, as long as you do not do any renovations, you will be safe. However, this wall is likely to pose a problem during the eventual sale of your property.
