Asbestos: What You Need to Know

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was commonly used in building materials due to its heat resistance, resistance to chemical attack, and high electrical resistance. It can be found in various building materials, including insulation, floor tiles, patching compounds, textured paints, and appliances. If asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed, they can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be harmful if inhaled.

The main source of asbestos in indoor air is insulation products. The most commonly reported material in California homes is the cottage cheese ceiling insulation. Other common materials include vinyl floor tiles, patching compounds and textured paints, furnace, stove and pipe insulation, stove door gaskets, some roofing shingles and siding material, and parts of some pre-1979 appliances.

At Asbestech Laboratory, we are dedicated to helping our clients understand the risks associated with asbestos and to providing them with the necessary tools to mitigate those risks. Our team of experts has the knowledge and experience to accurately detect the presence of asbestos and to provide guidance on safe removal and disposal practices.
