Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once lauded for its strength, heat resistance, and insulating properties. Because of these qualities, it was widely used in construction, including many garages built before the late 1990s. You might find it in corrugated roof sheets, flat wall panels, soffits, and even some guttering or cement products. The danger arises when these materials degrade or are disturbed, releasing microscopic fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can cause severe, long-term health issues, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. It's crucial not to attempt DIY removal.
