Q: Do I need to be worried about asbestos?

• <div><p>If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there&rsquo;s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it&rsquo;s disturbed from removal. If you suspect that you have asbestos, you&rsquo;ll want to call in <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asbestos-abatement/">an asbestos removal expert</a> to evaluate the situation. </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 areas are commonly tested for asbestos?

• <div><p>Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.</p></div>

Q: What are the health risks if I’m exposed to asbestos tiles?

• <div><p>Damaged tiles can release asbestos fibers into the air. Anyone in the surrounding area who may inhale the fibers will have them settled in the lining of internal organs. Over time, it may lead to serious health conditions such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.</p><p>The only safe way to prevent these conditions is to avoid exposure to asbestos at all costs, even for a short period of time.</p></div>

Q: Is asbestos still used in siding?

• <div><p>Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s. Many other countries, such as Canada, Iceland, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in many homes built before the late 1980s. The only definitive way to know if your siding contains asbestos is to have it professionally lab-tested.</p></div>

Joe is an amazing contractor. He listens to his customers and try hard to give them exactly what they are asking for. Being on time was a small issue because some days went without work being done and therefore the project took longer than expected other than that a job well done.
