Asbestos Removal
Brisbane Northside

Manufacturers began embedding asbestos fibres in concrete sheet roofing back in the 1930s because of the additional strength and durability the material offered. However, fifty years later, science began to show that there was a link between asbestos exposure and the development of chronic lung conditions, including asbestosis and lung cancer.

Over time, regulators began to impose restrictions on the production of asbestos and then banned it outright, but unfortunately, a lot of damage had already been done. Asbestos was already a popular roofing and construction ingredient, present in hundreds of thousands of buildings across the country.

Many buildings in Brisbane Northside contain asbestos roofing materials that need to be removed. Asbestos roofing is safe, so long as the sheets remain intact. However, as the decades wear on, many asbestos roofs are beginning to break down, risking the release of dangerous fibres into the atmosphere. Asbestos fibres can result in severe health complications for those affected.
