Asbestos is a fibrous material which was commonly used in construction from the 1950s to the 1990s due to its insulating, noise abatement, and fire protection properties. Unfortunately, as many of us now know, asbestos poses a major threat to the health of humans, and has been linked to mesothelioma and lung cancer as well as other fatal illnesses.
Asbestos can be found in many areas in a home or building, including vinyl flooring and tiles, textured paints, plaster, joint compound, insulation around piping and furnaces, and roofing shingles. The only surefire way to know if your property has asbestos is by sending a sample of suspected asbestos to a testing lab. If the results come back positive, it is critically important that the hazardous material is removed immediately, especially if the asbestos is airborne.
