What Is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a mineral once heralded for its fire resistance, strength, and insulating properties. It was widely used in various Canadian building materials.
No one knew it would cause trouble then, but now we understand that it releases microscopic fibers into the air, causing a serious hazard once it's disturbed or deteriorating. Health problems can happen when these tiny fibers are inhaled. Issues like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer are linked to exposure.
Which Building Materials Might Contain Asbestos?
Asbestos was a welcome and common addition to building materials until the 1990s.
It may be present in:
- Ceiling tiles and spray-on coatings
- Floor tiles and linoleum backings
- Roof shingles and siding
- Drywall compounds and plaster
- Cement sheets and pipe cement
- Insulation (especially around pipes and boilers) and vermiculite insulation products
Was your property built before 1990? It's worth having an inspection done before any renovations or repairs.
