Asbestos Testing Toronto – Call (647) 694 – 3617
Historically, asbestos was valued for its insulating and fire resistance qualities. Even then it was known to be dangerous to the men mining it. It was first recorded to be in use during Caesars reign in Rome, and while your home may not be that old, any home built before 1974 may have had asbestos used in it. It was commonly used for insulating pipes, for shingles used on the outsides of home, and for roofing tiles. If you have bought a home constructed before 1974 and is planning any remodeling you may need to have Clean First Mold And Asbestos Removal Contractors check it out first.

Asbestos in your home could increase your risk of:
- Lung Cancer: Symptoms most often associated with this are weight loss, shortness of breath, and coughing including coughing up blood.
- Asbestosis: This is scarring in your lungs that can lead to breathing difficulty or heart attacks.
- Mesothelioma: This is a rare form of lung cancer and attacks the lining of the lungs.
The truly frightening thing about asbestos is that even if you are exposed to it, you may not show any symptoms for up to 12 to 40 years after exposure. You may not even live in the home where you were exposed any longer. Anytime you buy or rent a home that was built before 1974 you should have it checked by Asbestos Testing in Toronto to ensure you, and your family, are safe.
