Asbestos testing is important If you are living in an older home. The reason is this, there is a good chance that, if you are living in a home that was built prior to 1970, asbestos may have used in its construction. Predominantly, asbestos was used in basements, attics or roofs. Before the significant health risks of asbestos were brought to light, the mineral was readily available and it was an inexpensive material that could be used in a variety of ways. It was used to fill spaces, cover items, to keep flames lit, heat in, cold out, and damp areas dry. Many thought of it as a almost a miracle mineral. Asbestos was used to cover steel beams, water and sewer pipes, ducts, stovepipe rings, electrical wiring, vinyl and linoleum flooring, and acoustic tiles.
