Asbestos in Your Home
There are 2 main categories when it comes to asbestos fibres:
- Friable
When asbestos is friable, it is in a powdered form. This makes it a lot more dangerous to a person, as powdered asbestos is much easier to inhale. Friable asbestos needs to be managed properly in order to prevent any harm, and often needs to be removed from the property entirely.
- Non-friable
This is where the asbestos is much more compact. Non-friable asbestos is not easily released into the air and therefore poses less of a risk in comparison to friable asbestos. This normally makes the removal costs cheaper, and sometimes it may not be necessary to remove the asbestos at all.
We do not remove the asbestos immediately as we need to ensure it is absolutely necessary to remove it.
