Homes that have been constructed before 1990 may have asbestos on blown-in attic insulation and roofing material, usually on flat roofs. It was used as a fire-retardant material and thermal and acoustic insulator in home constructions.
The term “asbestos” as it is used in construction means naturally occurring mineral products that have properties such as:

Safety is at the forefront of everything we do and we do everything we can to make sure that the removal, handling, and disposal procedures we carry out are in line with the New Orleans Environmental Law, Health, and Safety standards.
The main steps our licensed asbestos removal team follows during asbestos abatement include:
Our roofers and technicians who remove asbestos from your residential roof wear a full-face mask respirator and coveralls for maximum body isolation from asbestos. They strictly follow decontamination protocols after the asbestos removal work is finished.
Roofing systems in old homes can have asbestos in them. Asbestos was one of the elements in attic insulation used in residential buildings. Some homeowners may not be aware that their roofing system has asbestos-containing vermiculite.
The main ways asbestos was used in roofing construction include its use in cement sheets for roofing systems. The excellent thermal qualities and fire retardant qualities of asbestos are the reasons why it was one of the most commonly used roofing products for home construction.
It is well-known that exposure to asbestos causes many health risks. Prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can cause harm to the lungs and can cause cancer. When residents of a home are exposed to asbestos, they can breathe contaminated air that contains toxic asbestos fibers.
Although the mere presence of asbestos is not hazardous, when a residential building with asbestos deteriorates over time and asbestos gets damaged, the asbestos fibers become a health hazard. Sometimes, homeowners carry out home renovations on their own putting themselves at high risk for asbestos contamination.
The initial effects of asbestos on health are soreness, inflammation, and infection. When these symptoms worsen, a person can develop the following diseases:

Asbestos can cause serious diseases when it is disrupted in a roofing system. Disruption can happen when your asbestos roof weakens, leading to breakage and even collapse. These damages can cause asbestos fibers to be released into the air or washed in the gutters.
Removal or replacement of asbestos roofs is preferred because maintaining these roofs can be dangerous, according to environmental health experts.
