Did you know, in NYS homeowners are NOT required to have an asbestos inspection if they are doing the demolition or renovation of their homes themselves? HOWEVER, if your home contains any building materials produced from 1910 to 1989, there’s a high chance there is a presence of asbestos that will be disturbed, exposing you.

Do not risk exposing yourself to dangerous asbestos fibers. If a thorough inspection determined that there is asbestos in your home, I will work with you to find and screen a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

Asbestosis is a type of lung disease caused by breathing in asbestos dust and fibers. The disease causes fibrosis (scarring) of your lungs which makes it hard to breathe. There’s no cure for asbestosis, but there are treatments to help manage symptoms.

Mesothelioma is a rare condition that involves tumors growing in the mesothelium. This tissue covers the lungs, the heart and reproductive organs, as well as forming a cavity for the abdomen and those organs. Malignant pleural mesothelioma (affecting the chest and lungs) is the most common type.
