Dealing with the presence of asbestos in your home can be a daunting and potentially hazardous task. The risk associated with asbestos comes from its tiny fibers, which can become airborne and inhaled, leading to severe health conditions such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. It’s crucial to approach asbestos with caution, especially in older homes where it was commonly used in insulation, floor tiles, roofing, and other building materials. The safest path you can take if you suspect there is asbestos in your home is to leave it alone and call a professional.

If you find asbestos in your home, the safest course of action is to leave it be.

To prevent the substance from releasing fibers, spray it gently with water and call a professional. It is also essential to report the asbestos to the Environmental Protection Agency.
There are different federal, state, and local regulations for dealing with asbestos removal and repair. An asbestos professional like an asbestos inspector or corrective contractor will understand these laws, have the proper equipment for the job, and can help you ensure your home is safe.
