Preserving value through asbestos removal

A smart move for property owners

Asbestos, once hailed as a "miracle fiber", was used in many building materials in the 1950s and 60s due to its unique sound, heat and moisture protection properties. However, over time it became clear that asbestos posed significant health risks. For this reason, the use of products containing asbestos has been banned in Germany since 1990. Nevertheless, materials containing asbestos can still be found in many old buildings.

Removing asbestos from a property is not only a question of health protection, but also of value retention. Professional asbestos removal can significantly increase the value of a property. Potential buyers are often concerned about the risks of asbestos and may refrain from buying if they know that asbestos is present in a building. Remediation removes these concerns and makes the property more attractive to buyers.

It is important to emphasize that not everyone needs to remove asbestos from their property. Intact asbestos-containing products are harmless to health. However, it becomes problematic when these products become cracked or porous, as they can then release a harmful amount of fibers. In such cases, it is advisable to consider remediation.

Remediation should always be carried out by specialized companies that have experience in dealing with asbestos. They know how to safely remove and dispose of asbestos without endangering people's health.

In summary, asbestos removal is a smart investment for property owners. Not only does it protect the health of residents, but it also increases the value of the property by warning potential buyers of the risks of asbestos.
