Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s.

The only definitive way to know if your siding contains asbestos is to have it professionally lab-tested.

Knob and tube wiring may contain asbestos insulation, but the only way to know is to have the material professionally tested.
