Why You Need an Asbestos Inspection Before Remodeling Your Home

Remodeling your home is an exciting project, but it comes with its own set of challenges and risks. One of the most critical steps you should take before starting any renovation is to get an asbestos inspection. Here’s why this is so important:

Protect Your Family's Health

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was commonly used in building materials before the 1980s. If your home was built before then, there’s a chance it contains asbestos. However, it’s important to note that asbestos-containing materials can still be found in newer homes as well. When these materials are disturbed during remodeling, tiny fibers can be released into the air. These fibers are dangerous when inhaled, leading to serious health issues like lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Avoid Costly Delays and Lawsuits

Discovering asbestos in the middle of your remodeling project can cause significant delays. Work must be halted until the asbestos is properly identified and managed. This not only disrupts your plans but can also lead to unexpected expenses. Additionally, failing to address asbestos properly can result in legal liabilities, especially if workers or future occupants are exposed to it.

Ensure Safe and Smooth Remodeling

By getting an asbestos inspection before you start, you can plan your remodeling project more effectively. Knowing where asbestos is located allows you to take the necessary precautions to avoid disturbing it. This ensures that your remodelers can work safely and efficiently, keeping your project on track and within budget.
