Asbestos Containing Material Photographs

Asbestos fibers increase the risk of lung cancer and other respiratory tract diseases.  If the asbestos-containing material is damaged and friable (which means that it crumbles under hand pressure) then it is advisable to have the asbestos-containing material abated.  If the asbestos-containing material is not friable (for example, vinyl asbestos floor tiles or asbestos shingle siding) or is friable but undamaged, then the EPA currently recommends that you leave the asbestos-containing material alone.  Heimer Engineering does not inspect or test for asbestos or asbestos-containing building materials.  Click here for more information on Asbestos
