Q: What products have asbestos?

• <div><p>Although the use of asbestos has declined since the 1980s, it remains in several different types of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. Typically, asbestos can be found in materials such as ceiling and floor tiles, heat-resistant fabrics and coatings, and roof shingles. You may also find asbestos in textured paint and patching compounds.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to live in a house with asbestos?

• <div><p>It can be safe to live in a house with asbestos as long as the asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and not disturbed. Asbestos is only dangerous when it becomes airborne, which happens if the material is damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation work. If you suspect asbestos is present, it's important not to disturb it and to have it professionally inspected. </p></div>

Q: Can asbestos be absorbed through the skin?

• <div><p>While asbestos can&rsquo;t be directly absorbed through the skin&mdash;the fibers are too big&mdash;skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.</p></div>

Q: What steps should be taken if asbestos is found?

• <div><p>If present, abatement action, including removal, sealing, or enclosure, should be planned per local regulations. Proper consultation with a professional is key.</p></div>

Q: Is there still asbestos in siding?

• <div><p>Asbestos has not been used to manufacture new siding since the early 1980s. So, while asbestos is not currently used to make new siding, it can still be present in the siding of homes built before the 1980s. The best way to know if your siding has any type of asbestos is to have a professional test it.</p></div>

They are great, and we have referred him to several people. I think they are fair on price. The price is different when they do the garden care and they also do our snow removal. The price depends on what is being done. They keep their own schedule, and I don't care, I just want it done.
