1 in 3 houses in Australia and NZ contain Asbestos which makes it a widespread problem especially with houses built in the 80s and 90s.
If your house or building was built or renovated in the 80’s or 90’s, it is likely to contain Asbestos in some form. The only way to be sure whether a material contains asbestos is to have it tested by a qualified laboratory. We only recommend testing suspect materials if they are damaged (fraying, crumbling) or if you are planning a renovation that would disturb the suspect material.
