What Is Asbestos and Why Is It Dangerous?
Asbestos was commonly used in homes built before 1980, often found in:
- Popcorn ceilings
- Joint compound and wall textures
- Linoleum and vinyl flooring
- Duct insulation and more
When disturbed during water damage, renovations, or demolition, asbestos can release hazardous airborne fibers that may cause:
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Lung cancer
Even though residential work isn’t regulated the same as commercial, hiring licensed professionals like Texguard keeps your home safe, clean, and properly documented.
