The municipality of Sint-Katelijne-Waver is organizing an information session on asbestos certificates on Tuesday, October 27 at 8 PM in the council chamber of the town hall.

Asbestos is found in over 3,500 applications and can be hidden in homes and buildings. Aging can lead to the release of harmful, invisible asbestos fibers. An asbestos certificate provides insight into the presence of asbestos, the risks, and necessary preventive measures.
An asbestos certificate is currently mandatory for the sale of buildings constructed before 2001. From 2032, this will become a general obligation, even without a sale. Taking action in time can prevent waiting times and unpleasant surprises.
The information session will delve into asbestos, the obligations related to the certificate, the inspection process, and the possibility of engaging a certified asbestos expert through a group purchase. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
The session will take place on Tuesday, October 27 at 8 PM in the council chamber of the town hall, located at Lemanstraat 63. Participation is free and does not require registration.
