Asbestos Services
"The Miracle Mineral"
- Once considered the "miracle mineral" because it's unique properties - fire resistance, corrosion resistance, high tensile strength and overall versatility - made it well-suited for many uses in the construction industry. Unfortunately, when it was proven that exposure to asbestos caused cancer, all of the benefits associated with this material were replaced with concerns over how to safely manage asbestos containing materials that are present in nearly every home and building constructed before the 1980’s, and is still in limited use today.
