Homes built before the 1980’s are most at risk for asbestos, but that doesn’t mean that homes bushiness after the that time are free from asbestos. Asbestos can be found throughout your home in certain types of flooring, insulation, shingles, around your pipes, and many other places both inside and outside of your property. At AR Environmental Solutions, we believe it is a conflict of interest to be the company that tests for and removes asbestos, so if you aren’t sure that you have asbestos in your home, it’s best to hire a company to test before giving us a call.

Asbestos is generally not harmful until it starts to break down and releases dust and fibers into the air. In fact, according to The Consumer Product Safety Commission, “There is no danger unless fibers are released and inhaled into the lungs”. Once asbestos is damaged, like during a renovation or remodeling project,  it can start to become dangerous for you and your family. If asbestos fibers are swallowed or ingested, it enters your body and can pass deep into the lungs or, if swallowed, the digestive tract. The more asbestos that gets inhaled or swallowed, the more at risk you are for becoming sick later in life. This is why you should never try to remove asbestos on your own.
