Q: What does water do to asbestos?

• <div><p>Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.</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: What should I do if toxic materials are found during a professional test?

• <div><p>Follow recommendations for removal or remediation to ensure a safe living environment.</p></div>

Q: Will homeowners’ insurance cover the removal of asbestos siding?

• <div><p>Homeowners&rsquo; insurance doesn&rsquo;t often cover the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asbestos-siding-removal-cost.htm">cost to remove asbestos siding</a>, which averages about $2,900. Insurance policies treat the removal of asbestos siding as regular home maintenance, which insurance doesn&rsquo;t cover. If your siding suffers damage in a storm, though, it&rsquo;s possible the insurer may cover the replacement cost, even if the damaged siding contains asbestos.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>It's okay to live in a house with asbestos siding as long as it's intact. Asbestos siding in good condition poses minimal risk since the fibers remain bound. If the siding is damaged, or deteriorating, or if renovations are planned that may disturb it, the risk of exposure increases significantly. Consult a professional asbestos inspector to assess the situation and provide recommendations.</p></div>
