Four Tips To Identify Asbestos In Your Home

Think you have asbestos in your home, but not 100% sure? Well, we have decided to give you a helping hand with identifying the deadly fibre in your home. Here are four tips to help you identify asbestos in your home.

1. Find out when your home was built.
   This is a very important factor in the process of identifying asbestos in your home and if you need asbestos removal. Asbestos used to be a very popular material back in the 1970s and 80s, due to its strength, versatility and longevity. However, it was then discovered that it was deadly fibre and ban from construction. If your home was built between 1970 to 1990, there is a chance that it could have asbestos.

2. Memorise its physical traits.
   Asbestos comes in many different forms, sizes and shapes, but what makes them distinct is their three colours: white, blue and brown. Take a look online to see how asbestos looks in full form. If you notice these colours appearing in the walls, ceilings and vents in your house (white might be hard as most houses have white as a colour) then alert a professional immediately.

3. Check the more common places.
   Asbestos is known to grow and develop in certain places in the home. Check these places as often as you can:

   1. Floor tiles

   2. Ceilings and windows

   3. Internal walls and corners of rooms

   4. Attics and basements

   5. Roof, gutters and downpipes

   6. Panels and columns

4. Get the professionals on board.

They have all the experience you need to locate and conduct an asbestos removal service. With top-quality asbestos removal services available, your home can be safe once again.
