The most common sign of asbestos is the age of your home. Asbestos was banned in drywall in 1977, though many products still contained asbestos until the 1980s. Indicators of possible asbestos in your home include:

  • Your home's age, if built before 1980

  • You have a home with vinyl flooring or millboard that was installed between 1952 and 1982

  • Your home has corrugated roofing

  • Your home has walls made from cement sheets

  • Your home has vermiculite insulation

Asbestos was commonly used in construction before the 1980s. While homes built after that time are unlikely to contain asbestos, there is still a possibility. Asbestos was found in materials such as flooring, drywall/joint compound, ceiling textures (like popcorn ceilings), roofing, siding, felts, HVAC systems, and more. If you're concerned about asbestos in your home, it's important to consult with an experienced asbestos professional to assess the likelihood of its presence.

Yes. Gutting a house to the studs may actually be a good option if you believe a home contains toxic materials like asbestos, mold, or lead paint. However, this must be done under the supervision of licensed remediation experts.

Asbestos testing takes place in two stages—collection and lab testing. Collection can take less than 20 minutes if a professional manages to get a direct sample. If air samples are required, then the pro will set up a testing device and return to collect it. In both cases, the sample is sent to a lab and results are confirmed or denied usually within one to two days.

Often found in old insulation, tiles, and roofing materials in pre-1980s buildings.

Epoxying over asbestos tiles is generally considered a safe option when done correctly. Epoxy acts as a sealant, encapsulating the asbestos tiles and preventing the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The key is ensuring that the asbestos tiles are in good condition, firmly adhered to the substrate, and not damaged or deteriorating. This method is only appropriate for tiles that are undamaged and securely in place. If the asbestos tiles are already loose, damaged, or deteriorating, encapsulating them with epoxy may not be a sufficient solution, as it might not address the potential for ongoing asbestos exposure.
