You have probably heard of asbestos, especially if you have bought an older home. There are many dangers that come with asbestos. It can lead to lung cancer and many other respiratory problems.
Unfortunately, asbestos was used extensively from when it was first discovered until the time when it was banned because of the serious effects exposure could have on humans. This means that any homes that were built more than 50 years ago could have asbestos in the building materials. It was used for insulation, durability and fire resistance, so it can be found in almost any part of your home.
If you suspect that there is asbestos in some building material in your home, never try to clean this up on your own. You will most likely release the microscopic fibers into the air, exposing yourself and your family to the risk of serious illness. Instead, consult a professional service that has the tools and expertise to take care of the problem.
