Asbestos Testing and Abatement

Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the late 19th century because of its sound absorption, average tensile strength, and its resistance to heat, electrical, and chemical damage. The asbestos fibers were mixed with cement or woven into fabric or mats. However, it has recently gained attention for its negative impact on the health of those exposed to it!

Living in a home with intact asbestos doesn’t necessarily pose a health risk. Most people who suffer asbestos-related major health problems are exposed to the substance over long periods of time, such as workers in factories that produce asbestos products. But when these materials in your home deteriorate over time, or become disturbed or damaged, asbestos fibers can be released into the air. It’s a material with lots of staying power; fibers can stay around your house for years. Once released, these fibers — especially the small, invisible variety — can be breathed into your lungs.

Over time, these fibers can build up in your lungs, causing lung cancer and mesothelioma — a cancer of the lung and abdominal cavity lining. Asbestos is a dangerous enough health risk that it even has a medical condition named for it: Asbestosis, which is a permanent scarring of the lung tissue. These scars can prove deadly over time.

Asbestos has been banned in certain areas around the world and laws have been enacted to prevent asbestos exposure, extraction, and the manufacturing and processing of asbestos products.
