If you suspect there is Asbestos in your home, what should you do?
If the product is already protected or isolated, the best thing is to leave it alone. The worst thing is to start ripping out the product. Asbestos poses health risks only when the fibers lodge in the lungs and can impair lung function. When you disturb the fibers, you are making them airborne.
