Asbestos used to be a commonly used construction material for many purposes, including insulation, fireproofing, sound proofing, texturing, and more. It has since been discovered that asbestos is dangerous when airborne and can cause respiratory issues or cancer if it is inhaled.
If you know or suspect that asbestos was used as a construction material for any part of your home, you should have it removed right away. Here is a list of dos and don’ts for asbestos removal to keep you safe:
