Asbestos Removal

Asbestos cement products were widely used in household building materials well into the mid to late 1980's.

What is asbestos?
A strong and incombustible fiber widely used in the past for fireproofing and insulation. The small, buoyant fibers are easily inhaled or swallowed, causing a number of serious diseases including: asbestosis, a chronic disease of the lungs that makes breathing more and more difficult; cancer; and mesothelioma, a cancer (specific to asbestos exposure) of the membranes that line the chest and abdomen. (See full definition here)

The best way to avoid exposure to a potential asbestos hazard is to remove it from your environment. The safest way to do that is employ qualified experts. Thats why you should contact Jim's about removing any hazardous asbestos you might have.
