IS THERE ASBESTOS IN MY HOME?
Professional asbestos testing is required to confirm if there is asbestos toxicity in your home. Illnesses caused by asbestos exposure often take many years to develop, and they can develop in people who spend extended time in asbestos contaminated environments.
If asbestos is found to be present in your home, it should be professionally analyzed, especially if it is in damaged condition. To avoid significant health risks, asbestos removal or asbestos abatement in your home should only be done by a professional asbestos removal contractor.
Asbestos abatement is a highly regulated and specialized process and there are many factors involved. The procedures are more complicated when asbestos and materials containing asbestos are damaged or exposed, or disturbed as a result of renovation or a disaster such as fire or flooding.
