🔍 FACT OF THE DAY
Water Leak in the Ceiling or Walls?
It may be more than just a water damage issue.
Many older homes and commercial buildings contain materials that may contain asbestos, including drywall joint compound, ceiling textures, flooring adhesives, and insulation. When a leak damages these materials, repairs often require cutting, removing, or disturbing them. That’s why an asbestos inspection and testing should be completed before demolition or restoration work begins. (US EPA)
💧 Water damage can cause building materials to deteriorate, increasing the potential for asbestos-containing materials to be disturbed during repairs. (Brick Asbestos & Demolition)
