If you discover the presence of asbestos in a space, you will want to vacate that space immediately.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is an insulation material that was widely used for much of the 20th century. Asbestos has highly effective insulating properties and was low cost and widely applicable. Unfortunately, it is also highly toxic and has been identified as a direct cause of mesothelioma cancer. That is why asbestos is banned in over 50 countries and highly restricted in many more. New construction no longer relies on this insulation material, but it is still present in many older homes and businesses. If you discover asbestos in any space where you are living or working, you will want to call Harpel Restoration to discuss removal ASAP.

Despite widespread removal efforts, there is still a lot of asbestos in a lot of homes and business. And if it is present, it is putting everyone inside at risk.
