Asbestos Do's and Don'ts Inside Your Northern Virginia Home

A mineral fiber that can be identified only by professionals, asbestos can create personal health and indoor air quality detriments when disturbed. If you think your home may contain asbestos, do not disturb it, as asbestos fibers are potentially harmful when disturbed and set into the air. Generally, material in good condition will not release asbestos fibers.
