Frequently Asked Questions

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in many industries for its heat-resistant and insulating properties.

Asbestos can release tiny fibers into the air when it is disturbed or damaged, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Most Homes Built before 1978 you can find asbestos in tile floor, insulated pipes, boiler covers/wrap, vermiculite in the attic, joint compounds of the walls and ceilings. The only way to know for sure if your building contains asbestos is to have a professional asbestos inspection and testing performed. 

The effects of long-term exposure to asbestos typically don't show up until 10-40 years after initial exposure. Symptoms can vary in severity (Short Breathe, Lung Disease, Asbestosis, Mesothelioma)
