How would mold impact my project?
While mold is present everywhere in the outdoor environment, active indoor mold growth requires moisture either from active leaking of plumbing or weather-related water damage. Active-growing mold damages the building materials it lives on, thereby impairing structural integrity and causing a decline in indoor air quality.
What is asbestos and why does it matter?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals composed of extremely thin fibers. Because it’s so thin, asbestos is extremely durable to heat and abrasion, but it’s strength is also its drawback. The microscopic asbestos fibers can remain airborne for days, creating a hazard for any individual who is exposed to them. Specifically, asbestos exposure increases risks of mesothelioma and other asbestos related diseases, making it a public health risk.
