Where Asbestos is Found

The general assumption is asbestos is present in a wide range of building materials. These materials include:

• Caulking
• Tar paper
• Popcorn ceiling texture
• Drywall joint compound
• Grout
• Vinyl
• Drywall
• Ceramic tile
• Air duct mastic over tape
• Roofing shingles
• Insulation
• Linoleum and vinyl flooring

Most people think about mold growth first when considering issues with indoor air quality. An asbestos inspection is extremely important because asbestos was common before the 1980s in shipyards, oil refineries, power plants and the construction of buildings and homes.

Asbestos is often found in hazardous amounts in ceiling and floor tiles, cement, insulation and the joint compound common in sheetrock seams.

Dangers of Asbestos

Asbestos is classified as a carcinogen known to inflict disease and cause harm through direct contact with the skin or inhalation by those exposed. Contact with the skin can result in an itching or burning sensation, a rash and a tingling or prickling pain.

When inhaled, asbestos fibers can potentially lodge in the respiratory system. This enables the carcinogenic fibers to travel to the lower area of the lungs leading to peritoneal or pleural mesothelioma. Asbestos air sampling locates the carcinogenic fibers to prevent potential health hazards.

EPA and OSHA Asbestos Guidelines

Both the EPA and OSHA have guidelines requiring asbestos surveys and asbestos inspections. According to the EPA, an asbestos inspection must be completed before remodeling or demolishing any multi-unit residential, educational or commercial building.

The requirements of OSHA state asbestos surveys and asbestos testing is mandatory to ensure all employees and occupants have a safe working environment. If these guidelines are not met, you can receive penalties including fines.
