Asbestos Inspection Asbestos is used in over 3000 products, including heat resistant textiles (cloth, padding), cement products (sheets, pipes), special filters for industrial chemicals, thermal insulation products, friction materials (clutch, brakes), gaskets, floor tiles, wall cladding, roofing material, packing material, textured paint and protective paper. It is a known carcinogenic and is responsible for progressive scarring of lung tissue and mesothelioma – a cancer in the lining of the chest cavity (the pleura) or, less commonly the lining of the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum). Many sufferers of mesothelioma have worked in situations where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways; for example by washing the clothes of a family member who has worked with asbestos, or by renovating using asbestos cement products and the DIY renovator. It therefore makes a lots of sense requesting an Robertson Thermal Inspections if there is any suspicion of asbestos in your home or of your are unsure of the condition of the existing asbestos; for example in the roofing.
