Asbestos was a popular material to use in building materials many years ago, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. Asbestos can be found in ceiling tiles, insulation, shingles, cement, drywall, and many other building materials. So if you are doing remodeling, demolition, or any other type of construction on your property and it is over 40 years old, it is probably a good idea to have asbestos testing done before you start. Asbestos testing will let you know if there is any asbestos present in the home or building that needs to be safely removed before you begin your project.
