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: When did they stop using asbestos siding on houses?

• <div><p>In the 1980s, the use of asbestos in house siding materials underwent a significant decline, ultimately being phased out by the mid-1980s to early 1990s. This change was largely due to a growing awareness of the severe health risks associated with asbestos exposure, particularly its link to lung diseases and cancers. With increased public concern and regulatory agency involvement, building codes and regulations were updated to restrict the use of asbestos in construction materials. </p></div>

Q: How do companies ensure safety during the abatement process?

• <div><p>By using PPE, sealing work areas, and following containment procedures.</p></div>

Q: What steps are involved post-abatement?

• <div><p>Detailed cleaning, air quality testing, and proper disposal of hazardous materials.</p></div>
