Is it safe to live in a house with asbestos siding?

• <div><p>Asbestos siding on its own doesn’t present a health risk. Asbestos fibers only become airborne when you disturb the material.

What year did they stop putting asbestos in linoleum?

• <div><p>Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.</p></div>

Q: Can you scrape off old asbestos siding?

• <div><p>Scraping off asbestos siding is extremely dangerous. When asbestos is inert, it does not pose a risk, but once disturbed, the fibers enter the air that you breathe and can cause irreparable damage. Professionals may scrape it off, but they will have more protective equipment and specialized tools that most homeowners do not have on hand.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional for asbestos abatement?

• <div><p>Ensures comprehensive removal and adherence to safety regulations, protecting health.</p></div>

Q: Can you power wash asbestos siding?

• <div><p>Power washing asbestos siding can be hazardous and isn't recommended. The power washer's high pressure can disturb the siding and release harmful asbestos fibers into the air. Rather than attempting to DIY it, hire a professional trained in asbestos handling to tackle any exterior cleaning.</p></div>
