A building inspection by Homekeur may reveal the presence of asbestos in your home. Until the mid-1970s, this material was used as insulation. There's really no need to be alarmed by asbestos in your home; it poses no immediate health risk. However, it does eventually need to be removed. In some cases, you can easily do this yourself.
The law contains rules that indicate in which cases you are allowed to remove asbestos yourself.
In all other cases, you must hire a company to remove asbestos . These measures are in place to prevent the release of large quantities of asbestos particles during removal, which can cause serious health damage.
If you're buying a new house, you might want to know if it contains asbestos. You can have this checked during a building inspection. An asbestos inventory can then be performed. A house containing asbestos may be sold, but it must be included in the purchase agreement signed by the notary. Asbestos should generally be removed, but in many cases, it's not necessary to have it removed immediately.
If you're unsure whether you can remove the asbestos yourself, it's always wise to have it done by an expert. They will take appropriate precautions to prevent the spread of asbestos particles. You can first have a specialized company conduct an inventory and provide a quote so you know the cost of asbestos removal in advance.
