Have you recently found out that your home is suffering from an asbestos issue or issues? If you have, you are most likely feeling a lot more than a little worried. In Australia, we love our homes, our climate, our culture and our laid-back lifestyle. However, when it comes to asbestos testing and asbestos removal, it really isn’t time to indulge that laid-back mindset.

The use of asbestos in Australia began as early as 1930 with the establishment of an asbestos mine in the town of Wittenoom located in the Western Australia. Since then, the use of asbestos in construction and industry grew exponentially reaching its peak in the period between 1950 and 1980. During this peak, expert reports indicated that Australia had the highest use of asbestos per capita in the world with textile mills, construction companies and other repair and production facilities using the material.

Removing asbestos from exterior/interior walls and cladding is very important. One of the major problems with asbestos products is when it gets to a stage of decomposition due to time and weathering it starts to release fibers into the atmosphere and if we are within range we start to breather those fibers in.
