Asbestos is an extremely dangerous substance and, as a result, the asbestos removal and disposal industry is heavily regulated within Queensland. You might think you can remove asbestos yourself, but if you find intact or damaged asbestos in your roof, it’s time to call in the experts. There are more advantages than you may realise.

Asbestos Risks

Damaged asbestos fibres are tiny particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye. If you have damaged asbestos in your home, there is a chance of developing lung cancers and diseases including mesothelioma. Skilled asbestos removal professionals know how to carry out the whole process in a controlled and safe manner so as not to disturb the asbestos sheets during their removal.

Advantages Of Professional Asbestos Removal

Safe Disposal: Removing asbestos is one thing, but disposing of it safely is a different thing entirely. If you want to avoid damaging the environment in any way, it’s imperative to make sure that the asbestos is properly disposed of in a safe manner. Unless you are an expert, you’re not going to have the resources or expertise to do this properly. However, by using a professional asbestos removal company, you can rest assured that the hazardous materials are being properly disposed of.


Your Health: As mentioned above, asbestos can cause some serious health problems, which cannot be remedied. This is why it’s important to ensure that the asbestos present in your home or business is properly removed and disposed of safely. If you don’t, then you’re not only causing unnecessary risks to your own health, but also to the health of your family, employees and everyone in the immediate vicinity of your property.


Professional Repair Work: One of the main reasons for removing asbestos is to replace the building work where it was removed. Unless you’re a professional builder, then you’re probably not going to be able to do this. However, by using a professional asbestos removal team, you can rest assured that all work will be carried out in a professional manner, and that you will be happy with the end result.


Save Time: When you use a licensed asbestos removal team to remove asbestos from your property, they will come to your home, remove the asbestos safely and dispose of it according to WorkCover, EPA and council regulations. Once completed, the company can provide you with copies of disposal receipts and retain them for your records. You don’t have to research safety methods, buy protective gear or remove the asbestos from your property, as they’ll take care of it all for you. Easy!
