Does Your Home Have 1 of the 3 Major Health Hazards?

Abstract

Educate your clients about the telltale signs of lead, asbestos and mold, and know how to help them properly remediate. Remediation experts point to three common dangers in homes built prior to 1978 that can come with long-term health consequences. All three can become airborne when disturbed and spread through the HVAC system and cross-contaminate areas of the building. In a real estate transaction, disclosures about known issues with the home also are required. Abatement firms can handle the safe testing and removal and removal of such dangers. “Certain items can’t be restored once contaminated.”
