Asbestos Abatement: Protecting Your Home from Weather-Related Hazards

As weather changes, asbestos abatement becomes a concern as severe storms and fluctuating temperatures can lead to broken pipes, fallen trees, and other damage. One of the hidden dangers of repairing this damage is asbestos exposure. Asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in older buildings for insulation, roofing, drywall and flooring. When these materials are disturbed—such as during tree removal or pipe repair—they can release harmful asbestos fibers into the air, putting your health at risk.

When dealing with weather-related damage, homeowners often find themselves exposed to the risk of asbestos, especially if their home was built before the 1980s. In older homes, there may be hidden asbestos in insulation, ceiling tiles, ceiling or wall texture, drywall joint compound, linoleum flooring or vinyl floor tiles. If you’re renovating or repairing areas of your home that might contain these materials, it’s important to hire professionals trained in asbestos testing and abatement. This process involves safely removing or containing asbestos to prevent fibers from becoming airborne and causing serious respiratory issues.
