If your home or building was built before the 1990s, there’s a high chance it may contain asbestos. This material was commonly used in insulation, walls, ceilings, and flooring. It was popular because it’s heat-resistant and durable. However, asbestos becomes extremely dangerous when disturbed.
Asbestos, once a prevalent building material, is now recognized for its severe health hazards. And unfortunately, in Vancouver, many older homes still contain asbestos, posing significant risks to residents.
As a homeowner or prospective buyer, there is nothing more chilling than hearing the word ‘asbestos’ brought up during an inspection. The cost of removing this hazardous material is expensive, and it can lead to serious potential health risks.
If you have discovered asbestos in your property, there is no time to wait. You have to act fast and contact a professional before the situation becomes worse. Unfortunately, homeowners can often hesitate to contact a professional due to uncertainty around the cost of residential asbestos removal.
