Asbestos Exposure

Homes built before the 1980s may contain legacy asbestos in cement, floor tiles, insulation, walls and pipes. Renovation work like removing walls, replacing floor tiles or scraping popcorn ceilings can release toxic asbestos fibers into the air and put everyone in the home at risk. 

Asbestos in your home is dangerous as it ages, wears down, gets damaged and is disturbed. The risk is lower if licensed professionals encapsulate it or it remains in good condition and undisturbed. However, no amount of exposure to asbestos is safe. Prolonged or repeated exposure raises the risk of developing asbestos-related diseases.
