Should I Get Asbestos Testing Done For My Property?
If you have ever asked the question, ‘do I have asbestos in my house?’, and were not confident of the answer, then yes, you should most certainly have your home tested. The fact of the matter is the vast majority of people are unfamiliar with the very definition of asbestos, let alone its nature and where it might be found.
About a decade ago, people believed if a home was built after 1990 then testing for asbestos was unnecessary, however, studies have shown that that is no longer an accurate gauge. Considering the wide manufacture of asbestos since the 1920s, it is no surprise that asbestos has been found in homes built within the last 10 years.
The presence of asbestos has been found in construction sites in more recent years, despite Australia’s nationwide ban in 2003. It has been estimated that the total eradication of asbestos will not occur before the year 2050.
