Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in building materials before 1980 due to their strength and resistance to heat and fire. It's commonly found in insulation, ceiling tiles, shingles, roofing, and older floor tiles—especially in buildings built before 1978. In Reading, where many beautiful older homes still stand, asbestos may be present without visible signs. When disturbed—during construction, remodeling, or weather damage—these materials can release microscopic fibers into the air. When inhaled, asbestos fibers can lodge in the lungs, leading to major health issues over time, including lung disease, cancer, and mesothelioma. It’s critical to have suspected materials tested and removed by certified professionals before risking any exposure.
In Reading, MA, many homes and buildings built pre-1980 still contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, roof shingles, and siding material. While safe when left undisturbed, these materials become hazardous if cut, drilled, or cracked. For homeowners and commercial property owners alike, it's not just a danger to health but also a legal requirement to manage asbestos according to state regulations.
