What exactly is asbestos and should you be concerned? Asbestos is a natural occurring mineral that was frequently used in construction due to its durable nature. Used in the early 1900s and made popular during World War 2, it took decades for people to realise the dangers of asbestos. Now, years later, people who have been exposed to asbestos fibres continue to suffer from the aftereffects. To prevent further damage being done, residential homeowners and companies have enlisted the help of an asbestos professional to remove the dangerous material from their homes.

Residential Asbestos Removal Services
Suspect your home contains asbestos? Not a worry, our asbestos removal Brisbane team can provide cost-effective removal services to quickly rid your home of the material. When it comes to identifying asbestos, it usually falls into the following categories:
- Bonded (non-friable) asbestos: The less dangerous of two, bonded asbestos is when asbestos material has ‘bonded’ with another material. This means that the material is considered quite safe, unless it is sawn into or broken. This is the most common form of asbestos found in residential homes. Considering that up to one third of Australian homes contain non friable asbestos, it’s unlikely that you’ll need to do anything about it as undisturbed asbestos poses a low health risk.
- Friable asbestos: Friable asbestos is highly dangerous and should be dealt with as soon as it’s suspected. Friable asbestos is an asbestos that can be easily reduced to powder, and is usually found in tiles or walls.

Asbestos Encapsulation
What is asbestos encapsulation? Because disturbing asbestos can cause more harm than good, some asbestos containing materials are best left alone.

Our asbestos removal contractors are trained to collect and dispose of asbestos containing material in compliance of Australian health and safety laws and regulations.

Asbestos fibre exposure increases the risk of developing lung, ovary and larynx cancers as well as mesothelioma – a lung lining cancer. These effects often surface tens of years after exposure to asbestos. In addition to cancers, there are other asbestos related diseases such as asbestosis and pleural plaques.
Historically, asbestos was once used in an excess of three thousand different products in Australia. Asbestos related diseases contribute to around four thousand deaths each year in Australia.
