Asbestos Removal & Remediation - Dangers of Asbestos
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that occurs in rock and soil. It has been used in a variety of construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. Asbestos has also been used in a wide range of manufactured goods, mostly in building materials (roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, and asbestos cement products), friction products (automobile clutch, brake, and transmission parts), heat-resistant fabrics, packaging, gaskets, and coatings.
Where asbestos may be found:
Some attic and wall insulation (insulation containing vermiculite, learn more)
Old vinyl floor tiles and the backing on vinyl sheet flooring and adhesives
Roofing and siding shingles
Textured paint and patching compounds used on walls and ceilings
Walls and floors around wood-burning stoves protected with asbestos paper, millboard, or cement sheets
Hot water and steam pipes coated with asbestos material or covered with an asbestos blanket or tape
Oil and coal furnaces and door gaskets with asbestos insulation
Heat-resistant fabrics
Automobile clutches and brakes
Locations that may contain asbestos:

How Can People Be Exposed to Asbestos?
Asbestos fibers may be released into the air by the disturbance of asbestos-containing material during product use, demolition work, building or home maintenance, repair, and remodeling. In general, exposure may occur only when the asbestos-containing material is disturbed or damaged in some way to release particles and fibers into the air.
Exposure to asbestos increases your risk of developing lung disease. Symptoms may take a few years to develop after exposure. Lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis are the three major health effects associated with asbestos exposure.
When would you have your home/business inspected for asbestos?
If you are planning to remodel
If your home or business has damaged materials like crumbling drywall or insulation that is falling apart
If you have a known asbestos problem, depending on the extent it can either be repaired or removed
Asbestos materials that are not damaged/disturbed are not likely to pose a health risk
