Asbestos was widely used in building materials such as insulation, roofing, and floor tiles until the late 1970s. Homes built during this time period are at a higher risk of containing asbestos. If these materials are disturbed during renovations or simply deteriorate over time, asbestos fibers can be released into the air, creating a dangerous environment for you and your loved ones.
In Pinellas County, the regulations require a thorough asbestos survey before any demolition or significant renovation projects. This ensures that any asbestos-containing materials are identified and safely removed before they pose a health risk.
