Today, we want to help you figure out exactly what’s going on in your home. If you live in an older home (specifically a home built before 1980) then there is a risk that your home has asbestos in the cement, floor tiles, walls, or even in your pipes.

Health Risks of Asbestos

Asbestos is so harmful because of the long-term health risks. Asbestos has been linked to problems like lung cancer and mesothelioma. It’s even linked that asbestos exposure can cause cancer of the larynx, ovary, pharynx, stomach, and colorectum. If you think that you’ve been exposed to asbestos, then it’s incredibly important to consult with a professional as soon as possible. We also suggest seeing a medical professional if you think you’ve been exposed.
