Asbestos:
Asbestos is a cancer hazard and still remains in many older homes and buildings. A property's value will be lower and an owner's liability will be greater when asbestos is present. Asbestos may be found in attic insulation, duct tape, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, vinyl flooring, plaster or drywall, roofing and other building materials.
It is important to determine exactly where the asbestos is located so that hazards can be controlled. Some asbestos containing materials can be safely managed in place while other materials require expensive professional removal to control the health hazard. Asbestos inspection, testing and management design are best provided by an independent, experienced asbestos professional like Steven E. Rice Environmental Inspections who is not associated with an asbestos abatement company, in order to avoid a potential conflict of interest.
Steven E. Rice has over 30 years of experience with the inspection, identification and management of asbestos containing materials. He maintains accreditation (#I08-05-1082) as an Asbestos Inspector from the Kentucky Division for Air Quality and receives annual continuing education and competency testing.
