Asbestos in Homes – Built Before 1990

Think twice about asbestos. It can still be found in many places.

Around the home, this includes external and internal walls, bathrooms, toilets and laundries, kitchens, roofs, fences, and garages.

Asbestos is dangerous if damaged, disturbed or deteriorating. Once asbestos fibres are disturbed they become airborne and can then be inhaled or ingested. This can happen when sanding, drilling, cutting or sawing asbestos-containing materials.
