Asbestos is a tricky, sneaky substance. Generally, asbestos cannot be identified by simply looking at it. It takes a trained professional to know if your home contains this dangerous material. The asbestos inspection team at Zona Restoration is professionally trained in inspecting and testing for asbestos. If you find yourself in the following circumstances, we highly recommend you schedule an asbestos inspection as soon as possible.
If your Chandler, AZ, home was built before 1980, the odds are extremely high that your home contains asbestos materials. Because of its fire-resistant and heat insulation qualities, asbestos was widely used in several types of building materials, such as ceiling and floor tiles, roofing shingles, attic and wall insulation, and vinyl flooring.
Remodeling can disturb construction materials that may contain asbestos. When materials containing asbestos are displaced from being torn, cut, or removed improperly, they can release dangerous fibers into the air. When these fibers are breathed in, they can cause many hazardous health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
If your home has crumbling drywall or insulation that is falling apart, these elements also have the potential to release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air. While waiting for asbestos testing, the best thing to do is completely limit access to this area of your home. This will prevent it from being disturbed accidentally.
