Renovating in Montreal? You Might Encounter Asbestos

Posted in Asbestos Removal, on May 19, 2021

If you're excited about doing home renovations, knocking down walls, or removing old insulation, some precautions might be in order. In fact, you may have already encountered some questionable building materials – like asbestos. If you encounter what you think might be asbestos, it's crucial to call in professional help for asbestos testing in Montreal.

Many homeowners don’t realize the prevalence of asbestos in their homes, particularly in an older home. The fact is, before asbestos was banned, it was used widely in many building materials, home insulation, and decorative applications.

When left undisturbed, the health hazards of asbestos are minimal. However, if you're doing some renovations or remodelling, it's important to proceed carefully when disturbing existing materials – it's far better to be safe than sorry!

Discovering Asbestos-Laden Materials

In a residential home, uncovering asbestos is a serious concern. It’s enough to simply suspect that asbestos is present. And because of the inherent health risks, it’s essential to seek professional help to test suspicious material and proceed with remediation when required.
