Before 1985, asbestos saw use in practically every part of the house. The fibres saw use as insulation and their fire-resistant properties. It was only later that the health hazards became known and the use of it ceased. If the home is old enough and never renovated, it may still have asbestos cement sheeting.

Visually, identifying asbestos compared to modern materials can be challenging. There are small signs to tell the difference physically, but it is best to get an expert’s eye on the matter. Asbestos Removal Perth, Arca, 1stchoice, and Aware are all excellent contractors for this sort of work.

Of course, the best option is to have the home tested. Contractors that know how to remove asbestos also have contacts in facilities that can test for it.
