Asbestos Inspection in Warwick

Do You Need A Certified Asbestos Inspector In Warwick?

When buying a property, most people think that if asbestos is present then it will be picked up on a standard home buyers survey however this is unfortunately not the case. Many home surveys look at the structure and what can be seen from the outside; very few building inspectors will investigate what is behind the fabric of a building.

Jim’s Building Inspections can provide you with asbestos testing services in Warwick and when you hire a building inspector from Jim’s, you know you’re hiring a service you can trust!

Why Is Asbestos Dangerous?

Asbestos has been a banned building material since 1989, but it’s a good idea to have any property built before 2003 inspected for asbestos. Asbestos used to be a very common building material found in anything from ceilings to window putty, but we now know that asbestos fibres are incredibly dangerous. They can be responsible for many respiratory diseases, not limited to lung cancer and mesothelioma as well as asbestosis.

In an existing building, it’s harmless until you disturb it. However, once disturbed and you’ve become exposed to it, the damage is done. The younger you are, the more dangerous it can be for your health since once the fibres make their way into your body, you can’t get rid of them, so they remain lodged, most often in your lung tissue.

As well as the physical harm that asbestos can cause you, it’s also incredibly expensive to dispose of as it requires specialist skills to be removed and disposed of safely.
