We recently used Assurance Building Inspections for an asbestos inspection before renovating our property. Ben and his team were professional and efficient, and we received our report promptly. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future.

RESIDENTIAL
Are you in the process of buying or have you recently purchased a home built before 1990?
It’s estimated that 1 in 3 homes in Australia contain asbestos. Yikes! But don’t worry, we’ve got your back.
Before you start any renovation or maintenance work on your new home, it’s crucial to get an asbestos inspection. The probability of asbestos in your home depends on when it was built:
- Homes built before 1985: highly likely to contain asbestos
- Homes built during 1985-1990: likely to contain asbestos
- Homes built after 1990: unlikely to contain asbestos
But, don’t take any chances! Let us help you keep your family safe with our asbestos inspection services.
And, if you’ve already started a renovation and are concerned about exposure to asbestos, we can even do air monitoring to see if any airborne asbestos fibers are present.
Don’t let asbestos be a hidden danger in your home. Contact us today to schedule your inspection and breathe easy knowing your family is safe.
