Asbestos In Your Home Must Be Removed
Asbestos was widely used in building materials until it was banned in 1978. If you do have asbestos in your home, you may not have to remove it. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), asbestos only poses a health risk when the material is friable (crumbled or pulverized) and fibers can be released.
"If building materials in your home aren't damaged and won't be disturbed, you do not need to have your home tested for asbestos," the EPA says. "Material that is in good condition and will not be disturbed (by remodeling, for example) should be left alone."
