What to do right now
- Keep people and pets away from the damaged area. Close doors and windows nearby if you can do so safely.
- Don't hose, sweep, vacuum or pick up broken material. That can release fibres.
- Treat it as asbestos until it has been tested, especially if the property was built or altered before 1990.
- Call 0403 126 276. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
