4. Construction materials
It comes as no surprise that construction materials are found on this list, especially when referring to older buildings and homes. Many homeowners are putting their life at risk as we speak. And, unfortunately, they may not be aware of the hidden danger.
The vast majority of homes built before 1980 contain asbestos in their flooring, insulation, plaster, and paint. If you’re planning to remodel, you should also note that some construction materials still contain asbestos.
Tiles, insulation, as well as plaster, can still contain asbestos. That’s why you should contact a professional to test your house for asbestos. You can also do it by yourself using this kit, but we insist on calling a pro.
