Total Asbestos, your Asbestos Removal Contractor in Queensland

What is asbestos?

Asbestos was once a common material used in the construction industry. It was popular for its fire retardant and insulation properties and can be found in thousands of homes, offices and other structures across Australia. It was not until the 1980s that asbestos was found to be the cause of a number of serious diseases, such as asbestosis and lung cancer. It was banned across the country shortly after this.

The importance of removal

Although asbestos has been banned for decades, the effects of it are still being felt today and there are many older structures containing the substance. While asbestos is harmless if it is not disturbed, once it becomes airborne it can make a person very sick and can even be fatal. Professional removal of asbestos is vital to ensuring the home or office is safe.

Asbestos on its own, contained and not exposed to the air, does not pose a problem.  It is only when the materials are exposed to the air, broken down into tiny particles, and either inhaled or ingested that asbestos becomes a huge cancer-causing threat.   Furthermore, a person may not know they have been exposed to asbestos for as much as 15 to 40 years after the initial exposure.  Contracting cancer due to asbestos is something that can be prevented when the dangerous material is removed from the environment.

That is why it’s important to have an asbestos testing professional, such as Total Asbestos, check your home and building and determine if asbestos removal is necessary.  We work with homes, commercial buildings and industrial properties.  No job is too big or too small for us.  We handle any kind of property.
