A professional building surveyor will usually recommend a snagging survey. A snagging survey is a type of building inspection, which can only be done on newly built properties. Any obvious defects in the construction of the property will be discovered by a surveyor. The property could have been built in contravention of federal building regulations, such as asbestos. As recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency, most asbestos products were banned in the United States. More than 122,000 Americans have been killed by this building material. This dangerous material directly affects thousands of American workers every year. This alarming number directly impacts many tradesmen who have been exposed for years to asbestos. Although asbestos-based products have become less popular in America, you can still find many asbestos-related products in American homes.
