What should you do if you discover asbestos in your home?
If your home was built in the late 20th century or earlier, there is a strong probability that you have asbestos lurking around your premises somewhere. Perhaps the asbestos will be obvious, such as that in a shed roof, but at other times it may be concealed, hidden away inside other materials, and only come to light when you are engaged in renovations or repairs.
While today there is an Australia-wide ban on the use of asbestos in homes, it can still sometimes find its way into the building supply chain and then into your home where it poses a potential risk to you and your family.
