It’s required to check for asbestos before starting a demolition or a strip out. Asbestos is harmful but is only found in old buildings that were built in the 1970s to 1980s. The material was used for insulating homes and fireproofing purposes. Extended asbestos exposure can be dangerous to your health.
If there is indeed asbestos in the area, make sure that you have someone knowledgeable to pick the material up for you. Please note that we no longer offer asbestos removal.
