Your Asbestos Abatement and Trauma Cleanup Professionals Serving Southeast Idaho and WY

Exposure to Asbestos increases your risk of developing lung disease. If you suspect you have asbestos in your home, a professional can help you determine the next step. Mishandling any asbestos products and materials can be dangerous. If the material is broken or damaged, asbestos fibers can become airborne and inhaled, which can then become lodged in the linings of the lungs, abdomen or heart. Because of its fiber strength and heat resistance, asbestos has been used in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. The EPA shares the following places where asbestos may be found:

• Attic and wall insulation produced containing vermiculite
• Vinyl floor tiles and the backing on vinyl sheet flooring and adhesives
• Roofing and siding shingles
• Textured paint and patching compounds used on walls and ceilings
• Automobile clutches and brakes

• Walls and floors around wood-burning stoves protected with asbestos paper, millboard, or cement sheets
• Hot water and steam pipes coated with asbestos material or covered with an asbestos blanket or tape
• Oil and coal furnaces and door gaskets with asbestos insulation
• Heat-resistant fabrics
