Thanks to years of research, we now know that asbestos can lead to serious health problems, including a type of cancer called mesothelioma. This extremely aggressive disease leads to lung damage. Scientists have discovered that mesothelioma can be caused by both indirect and direct exposure to asbestos. Your risk increases if the item containing asbestos is damaged and the fibers are disturbed. Long-term exposure can lead to a buildup of fibers inside the body, which causes an inflammation of the lungs. These fibers can also lead to cancer developing in the stomach, throat, ovaries, kidneys, esophagus, rectum, and gallbladder.
If your home was built with asbestos, your family could be at risk of high asbestos exposure. At Attic Projects, our team knows how to come into your home and determine if there is asbestos. We can then safely remove it and eliminate the exposure.
If your home was constructed before the year 1980, chances are it was built using asbestos. This material was commonly used in air ducts to help provide thermal insulation to act as a barrier for the air flowing through the system. Asbestos insulation was also used between basement joists for return air ducts. Because it can be a challenge to locate the areas where asbestos has been used, it can be complicated to remove it.
Some people choose to remove asbestos from their home as a DIY project. Unfortunately, when this happens, less visible areas are neglected. This can put you and your family’s health at risk. This is why you need to make sure you have an experienced professional who knows how to find all of these hidden locations.
