Where To Look For Asbestos Materials In A Melbourne Home
Asbestos Materials in your Melbourne home
If you are wondering where asbestos materials are in your Melbourne house, these are the most common spots the deadly fibres could be found.
Thermal insulation.
Many heating and thermal systems could contain asbestos materials without people knowing it. Gas and fire heaters, air conditioners and the cloth linings might have the deadly fibres.
Ceilings.
Ceilings are one of the most common spots where asbestos materials might grow. Mixed with other materials to form the ceiling, it could be where the fibre resides.
Carpeting.
It might seem strange to think that carpets could host the dangerous material. There are two ways asbestos can be in the carpet: one is through the hessian material that is used in the carpet. The second being where the glue and adhesive is used to stick to the carpet.
Roofs.
Embedded in the layers between the roof could be where asbestos materials reside. Having your roof and gutters checked will help you know if there is any asbestos.
Flooring Materials.
Everything from vinyl sheets, tiles or cement sheets might contain asbestos. This type of asbestos can be quite hard to find since it is covered, but if you notice a breaking down of your floors, it could be because of asbestos.
You should be warned though: if you do think that your house might contain asbestos, call a professional immediately. They can conduct an asbestos testing session before organising an asbestos removal service. Do not attempt to remove it yourself as you are putting your health in harm’s way.
