Construction Threatens Home Owners Life

Asbestos can be found in a litany of products, including brake pads, fire blankets, gaskets, and heat resistant gloves, to name just a few. However, did you know that you can find asbestos in your home?

Ninety-six-year-old Ann Jenkins didn’t know that asbestos was in her home until contractors removed asbestos-lined insulation from her bathroom. In fact, improper removal by the contractors disturbed the asbestos, covering Ms. Jenkins’ clothing and furniture and exposing her and her family to this dangerous carcinogen. 

Spring and summer are great times to start home repair projects. However, you need to stay safe. Be on the lookout for signs of asbestos in your attic, walls and other spots in your home. If you’re exposed, you need to act immediately. Contact the asbestos experts at Fears | Nachawati. Call 1.866.705.7584 or send an email to info@fnlawfirm.com.
