Asbestos was frequently used in the production of consumer goods and home construction by builders and homeowners. Its flexibility and heat resistance made it a popular choice for residential projects. Unfortunately, it’s also toxic to human health.
If you have an older home, built before or around the 1970s or 80s, it’s worth checking your bathroom for asbestos. This is especially important if you’re planning a bathroom remodel since disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release tiny fibers into the air that are dangerous to breathe.
So does your bathroom contain asbestos? Where should you look, and how do you know if you find it? Stay tuned to find answers to these questions and more.
