Asbestos

Asbestos is commonly found hidden in older homes that may be in need of repairs. It is the main cause of people being diagnosed with the rare and deadly cancer mesothelioma.

Even though asbestos is regulated today in North Carolina, renovating these older homes can release asbestos fibers into the air, posing a serious health hazard to homeowners and workers who lack the proper safety measures.  The link provided can give you more information on asbestos and resources available.
