What building materials commonly contain asbestos that everyone should know about?

Asbestos can be found in numerous building materials, even in buildings constructed after the 1980s. Common locations include floor tiles and adhesives, ceiling tiles, insulation around pipes and boilers, roof shingles, siding materials, joint compounds, and textured paints. HVAC ductwork, fire doors, and electrical panels may also contain asbestos components. For facility owners and property managers, understanding that imported materials can still contain asbestos means any building material could be suspect. Professional surveys identify all potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and provide detailed documentation for maintenance staff, ensuring safe handling during routine repairs and renovations.

"I was in the process of leasing a new commercial space, my broker had recommended air quality testing would be a good idea during the inspection period. I had a short time frame to work with. AirMD was able to get out to the property the same day and deliver results 3 days after. "
