Beware Tearing Down Walls

We have all heard of asbestos, but few of us understand how deadly it can be. The smallest amount in the lining of the insulation that warms your basement furnace's pipes, can cause mesothelioma cancer.

Never take down old gyp rock, insulation, or lining without having it first checked with an expert. They can safely remove the asbestos and test the air to make sure it is safe to return to the home.

Before you do anything, learn as much as you can about mesothelioma before you even consider tearing down walls.
