Inspecting, testing, and protecting your future Melbourne home from asbestos
Despite its usefulness as a deterrent to fire and its associated hazards, asbestos is an extremely toxic and dangerous substance to have in the home. The toxicity of asbestos was discovered, confirmed, and widely acknowledged in the early 1900s. But in Australia, builders used asbestos widely from after the Second World War up to the 1989. It was only in 2003 that asbestos was banned in Australia, and as such, many buildings and residences continue to contain the substance.
