Suspect asbestos is lurking in your garage roof? Here's how to deal with it safely
Briefly

When considering a garage conversion, it's critical to investigate the presence of asbestos in the roof, particularly in structures built before 2002. Experts suggest that suspected asbestos should be confirmed by professionals through material sampling and lab testing. Signs indicating its presence include the age of the roof, the material type (like corrugated panels), and visible wear such as cracks or moss. Ensuring safety is paramount, making these initial checks essential for anyone planning a conversion.
