Asbestos Before Work Or Demolition Diagnosis
A toxic material that breaks down into an infinite number of fibers invisible to the naked eye, asbestos is present in many structures, such as buildings and single-family homes whose building permits were issued before July 1, 1997.
It is for this reason that before carrying out renovation/rehabilitation or demolition work, the owner or lessor is obliged to carry out a specific asbestos diagnosis in order to protect the people who will carry out the work and the occupants of the property from exposure risks.
