Q: Is it legal to cover asbestos tile with new flooring?

• <div><p>The legality of covering asbestos tile with new flooring can vary by location. In some cities, it is not legal to cover asbestos tile due to the risk of causing fibers to become airborne. While a professional method called encapsulation can seal the asbestos in place, it is not always an appropriate solution. In other areas, covering the tile is a legal and reasonable option to prevent fibers from spreading and reduce health hazards. However, the best long-term solution is to have the asbestos professionally and completely removed from your home.</p></div>

Q: Can you gut a house down to the studs if you think it has asbestos?

• <div><p>Yes. Gutting a house to the studs may actually be a good option if you believe a home contains toxic materials like asbestos, mold, or lead paint. However, <b>this must be done under the supervision of licensed remediation experts.</b> </p></div>

Q: Can lungs heal from asbestos?

• <div><p>When asbestos damages the lungs it causes a condition called &ldquo;asbestosis&rdquo; which, unfortunately, can&rsquo;t be cured once it&rsquo;s damaged the lungs. This condition is chronic and any treatment is undertaken to improve quality of life. This usually involves quitting smoking, being prescribed oxygen, and undergoing lung rehab. Severe cases usually require a lung transplant.</p></div>

Q: Can you use Flex Seal to encapsulate asbestos?

• <div><p>Asbestos-containing materials, like duct wrap, should be encapsulated using a sealant specifically formulated for asbestos. These sealants work to bind with asbestos fibers and help further neutralize them as a health risk. Whenever you&rsquo;re working near asbestos-containing materials, be sure to keep safety as a top priority and wear a P-100-rated respirator as well as protective clothing.</p></div>
