WORK WITH A CERTIFIED ASBESTOS INSPECTOR NEAR AMAWALK, NY

There are a variety of hazardous materials that an inspector may look for. Two of the most common are:

• Asbestos: A naturally-occurring, heat-resistant element. It used to be widely used before it was discovered to be a leading cause of cancer. That said, it’s not banned in the United States, so it becomes incredibly important to get a certified inspector to prevent or reduce your exposure.
• Lead: This material can be found in pipes, water, and occasionally paint, should the building be old enough. Lead can slowly build up in the body over time, which can cause damage to the nerves and brain. A qualified inspector can help assess the danger of lead in a building so that you know whether or not a purchase is a good idea.
