Asbestos Services in Townsville

Asbestos in Townsville homes and buildings

Hazclear Environmental provides asbestos testing, removal, air monitoring, clearance and environmental services in Townsville and across North Queensland.

Townsville is North Queensland’s largest city and has a substantial stock of older buildings. Post-war Queenslanders, 1950s to 1970s fibro homes, older defence housing, commercial buildings and public infrastructure across the city commonly contain asbestos in wall linings, ceilings, eaves, roofing, wet areas and floor coverings.

Townsville’s tropical climate accelerates the weathering of older building materials. Cyclone damage, monsoonal flooding and prolonged UV exposure can degrade asbestos-containing materials faster than in southern Queensland, increasing the likelihood that bonded materials deteriorate to the point where they require assessment and removal. The 2019 flood event in particular drove significant demand for asbestos assessment and removal across flood-affected suburbs.
