Here at clear Asbestos Removal Canberra, we get this question many ask this question: what exactly is asbestos and why does it need to be removed?

Any of our highly trained Asbestos Removal Canberra staff will tell you that Asbestos is the name for six natural  mineral fibres

Asbestos is a term for a group of six naturally occurring mineral fibres that was historically considered a very versatile and useful mineral, especially for construction applications.

It is flexible, with high tensile strength, and provides effective heat and electricity insulation, with stable chemical properties and of course extremely affordable. This was frequently mixed into cement in construction while also used for roofing and flooring in many homes built throughout the 20th century.

When a solid, cause and effect link between prolonged asbestos exposure and cancer as well as other lung-related diseases was firmly established, many countries banned it.

All over the world, the removal of asbestos in homes, schools and buildings continues as we do here, in the Canberra, Australia Capital Territory area, helping families and businesses in the communities keep their homes safe and healthy by removing any asbestos still on their property.
