Many people believe that asbestos is banned in the US, and that it's only found in "old" buildings. Unfortunately, that is not necessarily true. Asbestos containing products are still quite common in the international marketplace, and you can find products with "Fiber Containing Materials" in local hardware and building supply stores throughout the US. Since it is well documented that exposure to asbestos can cause a variety of serious health effects, public awareness is very important. Asbestos is a collective name for several naturally occurring minerals.

Mold can be found almost everywhere in nature, but when mold moves indoors, people have very strong reactions, both emotionally and physically! Professional, certified IEPs who honor the Code of Ethics of the industry would not suggest performing both mold testing and mold remediation on a single mold job, as it is regarded industry-wide as a conflict of interest to do both. Have you recently experienced a flood or "water event"? Here is a mold prevention checklist we provide to our clients to help them prevent mold growth after water damage.
