Asbestos Myths Busted – The Truth Behind the Scare Stories! 👻

Heard the one about the haunted house full of asbestos? Let’s separate fact from fiction!

Old homes aren’t always asbestos horror stories - get the facts.

When it comes to asbestos, everyone’s got a story - usually involving scary basements, mysterious dust, and wild urban legends. But how much of what you’ve heard is actually true? Time to bust some myths (and maybe have a little fun along the way).

Myth #1: “If my house is old, it’s definitely dangerous. 🏚️”

Not so fast! While many UK homes built between 1930–1999 can contain asbestos, not every old building is a ticking time bomb. The real risk comes from disturbing materials that contain asbestos, not just living in a house with a bit of history. That’s why a professional survey is key - no guesswork, just facts.

Myth #2: “You can spot asbestos just by looking. 🔍”

We wish it were that easy! Asbestos hides in all sorts of places - roof tiles, under floors, even behind textured coatings. It takes a trained eye (and a bit of detective work) to find it safely. That’s where we come in.

Myth #3: “All asbestos surveys are the same. ⚠️”

Nope! Some surveys are quick box-ticking exercises. Ours? Thorough, friendly, and fast. We use the latest tech and deliver reports in record time. Plus, you get straightforward recommendations for what to do next - no jargon, just answers.

Fun Fact:

Did you know we once found asbestos in a 1970s hair salon under the floor tiles? (We’ve seen it all!) 💇‍♂️💇✂️

Bottom line 😱:

Don’t let myths or horror stories scare you. If you’re unsure, book a survey with Breathe Environmental Services and get the real story - no drama, just peace of mind.
