Why You Should Test For Asbestos Materials

Asbestos materials can get disturbed during renovation or demolition, causing the fibres to be released into the air. Breathing in these asbestos fibres can lead to serious health issues including lung diseases and cancer. Renovating or demolishing a home, built before 1990, requires asbestos testing and analysis.

  1. Why You Should Test For Asbestos Materials?

  2. DIY Projects Can Disturb Asbestos DIY projects now a days are very common, but homeowners do not understand the risks of disturbing materials that could contain asbestos. Whether you’re replacing flooring, wall, piping, or ceiling material, it’s a good idea to test everything to ensure you’re not exposing yourself, workers, or your family to asbestos. It is never worth the risk and shouldn’t be ignored. So, always consult with an asbestos removal professional before taking on any DIY project.

  3. Asbestos in Structures Built Before 1980 Any home built before 1980 should go through the asbestos inspection. This is especially important when materials are being replaced or moved. As we explained previously, asbestos was very common in materials like drywall, vinyl flooring, popcorn ceilings, plumbing fixtures, and roof materials, among others, so ensure that you are testing everything.

  4. Disaster Damage can Disturb Asbestos Whether natural or manmade, a disaster that caused any changes or shifts to your home or building means you should test for asbestos. When any of the building structure gets disturbed, asbestos may be released into the air. Make sure this isn’t the case by testing any shifting materials right away.

  5. Asbestos Materials Are Damaged Structures will eventually see some normal wear and tear over the years, even if you haven’t experienced a disaster or renovation. When you notice any crumbling or damage in tiles, walls, ceilings, shingles, siding, and other materials, test for asbestos so you know if the substance is present or not. This will save you and your family from the deadly asbestos.

  6. Buying a New Property Finally, when you’re purchasing a new home or building that was built before 1980, it’s a wise practice to test materials for asbestos. This helps you understand if asbestos will become an issue or not before you sign the final agreement.
