Common Asbestos-Containing Materials in Troy Homes
Asbestos was heavily used in construction materials from the 1940s through the 1980s, but contrary to popular belief, it was never fully banned in the United States. The EPA's 1989 ban was largely overturned in 1991, and asbestos remains legal in many building products today. Additionally, imported construction materials from countries without asbestos restrictions are commonly sold through standard retail channels. Properties of any age may contain asbestos in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling materials, pipe wrapping, and more. Our certified inspectors identify and test suspected materials to keep you and your family safe.
