Homeowners are often surprised to discover that their home may be contaminated with asbestos, finely textured fibers that, when inhaled, can do serious damage to your lungs. Unfortunately, if you are remodeling a home built before the 1980's, you're probably going to need to remove asbestos and dispose of it properly before you can proceed. The process of asbestos removal in Minnesota is best left to professional asbestos contractors who have been trained in proper removal, containment and disposal of asbestos.
