Get a reliable answer — we’ve been licensed asbestos removal specialists for over 20 years, helping homeowners in Raleigh and all across North Carolina. You can’t see or smell asbestos, which makes it a very sneaky health concern.
Inhaling airborne asbestos fibers can cause cancerous diseases, and symptoms of poisoning don’t show themselves until 20 to 30 years after asbestos exposure.
According to the EPA, “the only way to be sure whether a material contains asbestos is to have it tested by a qualified lab”.
Asbestos has been used in thousands of different products, but it was especially common among building supplies such as:
1. ROOF SHINGLES 2. FLOOR AND CEILING TILES 3. PIPE WRAP 4. SIDING 5. DRYWALL 6. FLOORING 7. AND MORE!
If any of the building materials listed above are frayed or falling apart in your home, or you’re thinking about a renovation that could disturb any of those materials, be careful.
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends that you have licensed asbestos contractors like us help test these materials before you do anything else.
When you’re in the middle of an exciting renovation project for your home, the last thing you might want to do is remove asbestos — and it’s tempting to just paint over and pretend it’s not there.
Despite serious asbestos-related health concerns, spray-on products like popcorn ceiling were used heavily up until they became banned by The Clean Air Act in 1978.
But even some homes built in the 1980s can contain asbestos popcorn ceiling because the Act allowed businesses to use up their existing inventory of products.
Popcorn ceiling is friable, which means you can easily damage it — and even just grazing friable asbestos with your hand can release toxic asbestos dust and dangerously increase levels of contamination.
While federal law doesn’t require the seller to disclose that their home contains asbestos or vermiculite, a type of insulation where asbestos is commonly found, North Carolina state law requires the seller to disclose this information.
That’s helpful, because in the Raleigh area alone, 1 in 5 homes currently on the market were built in the 1980s or earlier and are a possible asbestos risk.
