Is It Better to Remove Asbestos or Leave It?
Whether to dispose of asbestos or leave it in place depends heavily upon condition and placement. As long as asbestos-containing materials are intact, sealed, and placed in a location not likely to be touched, they can be safely left alone with close observation. In the event of being damaged, deteriorating, or placed in a high-traffic or renovation zone, removal is necessary to prevent dangerous exposure.

The Health Hazards of Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is harmless as long as the fibres are not in the air. When disturbed, it releases tiny particles that can be inhaled and cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. This risk is considerably increased if the material is deteriorating or exposed due to weathering, water damage, or construction work.
Understanding Asbestos Removal Costs
Most homeowners balance the cost of asbestos removal against the possible danger. Professional removal is an added expense, but the long-term advantages far exceed the cost. Maintaining asbestos in place might be cost-effective up front, but if it degrades or needs to be handled as part of a renovation project, the price and process of removal can become much greater.
Get a Professional Assessment
The ideal plan is to obtain a professional evaluation. Asbestos-trained experts can advise you whether the material is safe to remove, encapsulate, or keep an eye on with regular inspections.
