What is asbestos and why is it a problem?
Until 1978, asbestos was used to make many products because of its highly effective fire-resistant properties. It was used to manufacture sheetrock, insulation, floor tile, and many other common building materials found in your building.
However, exposure to asbestos was eventually discovered to be dangerous. People do not realize when they inhale asbestos because the fibers released into the air are about 1/80th the diameter of a human hair.
When exposed to asbestos, victims face serious health risks, including asbestosis, cancer, and other complications.
Texas passed legislation in 1978 that banned the use of asbestos in commercial buildings. However, many asbestos containing materials can still be found in structures built before 1978.
Regardless of whether your building was constructed before or after 1978, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires an asbestos survey before you start a renovation project.
Where Can You Find Asbestos?
Many building materials contain asbestos, including:
- Sheetrock
- Popcorn ceiling
- Roof shingles
- Floor tiles
- Ceiling tiles
- Insulation
- Cement
- And more
