Although asbestos does not have a very positive reputation, a lot of homeowners don’t know much about it. Basically, asbestos is a natural mineral that exists across the world, although it primarily comes from the USA, Canada and South Africa. It has fire-resistant qualities that made it a very common material in flooring and drywall, as well as in fire-proofing of homes commercial buildings, municipal buildings, schools and more.
However, being exposed to asbestos over a long time period can cause health problems, particularly for the lungs and respiratory system.
It’s a good idea to have your home tested by our experts – especially if it was built before 1980 – to confirm that your drywall, floors and ceilings do not contain asbestos. Our thorough procedures can verify that there are no hazards for you to worry about.
Some varieties of asbestos can be more hazardous than others, so if you believe that any kind of asbestos might be inside your residence, it’s important to get an evaluation to determine if it does present any concerns.
If there is asbestos and it could become airborne, it’s essential to have it removed (Do not attempt asbestos removal on your own.) Instead, consult a contractor that is certified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to manage the asbestos abatement for you.
