What is asbestos, and what is it used for?
Manufacturers started using asbestos many years ago in construction materials for its fire-resistant properties. Popcorn ceilings, tile flooring, and sheetrock have all been common asbestos-containing materials.
However, when asbestos was determined to be toxic and cause serious health problems, its use was largely discontinued and banned from use in commercial construction projects in 1978.
The problem is, many buildings were constructed before asbestos was made illegal. That means many structures built before 1980 still contain the hazardous fibers in their attics, walls, and floors.
Today, asbestos surveys are required by Texas law before obtaining a building permit.
If you’re planning a renovation or construction project, call ERI Consulting to request an asbestos inspection in Arlington, TX.

You won’t be approved to obtain a building permit for a construction project without calling an Arlington asbestos abatement company to schedule an inspection.
