Asbestos Services
Found in many homes and commercial buildings built before the 1980s, asbestos is a hazardous material that poses serious health risks when its fibers become airborne. If you’re planning a renovation or have recently suffered property damage, it is crucial to determine if asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present before any work begins.
Understanding the Dangers of Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once prized for its fire-resistant and insulating properties. It was commonly used in materials like insulation, vinyl flooring, "popcorn" ceilings, siding, and pipe wrap. When these materials are disturbed, they can release microscopic fibers into the air. Inhaling these fibers can lead to severe health conditions, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, which may not appear for decades. For this reason, asbestos should only be handled by certified professionals.
When to Suspect Asbestos
It is impossible to identify asbestos just by looking at it. However, you should be cautious if your property was built before 1980 and you are dealing with damaged or deteriorating materials. It is particularly important to test for asbestos before:
- Remodeling or Demolition: Cutting, sanding, or tearing out materials can easily release fibers.
- After Property Damage: A flood, fire, or storm can damage ACMs, compromising your indoor air quality.
- Working with Common ACMs: Be aware of common culprits like old insulation, textured ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, and cement siding.
If you have any suspicion, do not touch or disturb the material. Call a professional for testing immediately.
