What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous material that was used in more than 3000 building materials from the 1950’s to the 1990’s. When asbestos containing materials are disturbed, asbestos can be released into the air, and exposure to harmful airborne asbestos can cause serious health concerns for anyone working or living on your property. This includes a deadly cancer called Mesothelioma.
Asbestos can be found in some of these common materials:
- Vinyl tiles and linoleum sheet flooring
- Roof felt and shingles
- Stucco and deck under sheeting
- Loose and blown insulation such as vermiculite
- Gypsum board, filling compound, joint compound for walls and ceilings
