The house we live in was built in 1986. It has popcorn ceilings. We just moved here. Some flakes were found on the floor from the ceiling. I guess it happened after we turned on the heater. Does our ceiling have asbestos in it given the house was built in 1986?

2nd-
Are there "At home kits" that i can order to test my tiles for asbestos? If so, whats the website?

Thanks!

some of the tile in my basement may have asbestos per the realtor, I been in home for 3 yrs now, now some of the tile is breaking off. House was built in like 1953.

Its the cement asbestos shingle siding. Ive heard using a masonary sealer first, and acrylic paint works best...

What have you used and how well has it held up?

What are the responsibilities of the employer when the employees are being exposed to asbestos in the work place.
This is a warehouse that is wall to wall to cieling with asbestos fire proof spray. The workers spend 8 to 10 hours a day in here with little ventilation, just some old fans. Is this legal?

I have a 41 year old house in Texas, and several asbestos siding shingles are damaged or missing. Is there a replacement product that looks the same?

How can you tell the differnce without getting it tested?

Someone told me that if the popcorn texture is not hard i.e softer texture that will crumble without wetting then it should not have asbestos.

Can anyone with expertise tell me how I might be able to tell without getting it lab tested.

I have seen some popcorn ceiling and mine looks different, as it is not hard it just like styrafoam

thanks

I do not know how high the asbestos percent should be to call in the pros.

the house im in has old asbestos tiles that are painted white apparently and there is mold and dirt from my dogs all on them in different areas.how should i clean this safely?????

Say, if I hrie a fully licensed asbestos abatement contractor to do the removal/clean-up, after they do the job, how certain it is that the asbestos problems will be resolved?

Does anybody has any asbestos removal experience before?

There is a BROKEN transite vent pipe located in the attic. I got the test result says the transite pipe is a ACM, contains 22% asbestos.
Some HVAC contrabors did the installation work in the attic and broke the transite pipe without knowing it's a hazard of asbestos explosures. The broken transite pipe was left without any proper wrapping.
