Where is asbestos typically found in a structure and how can I be certain asbestos is present?
Asbestos can be found in various locations throughout a structure. Some examples include, but are not limited to acoustic ceilings, taping mud on sheet rock, plaster, flooring, heating ducts, stucco, flue pipes, pipe lagging, and roofing. To determine the presence of asbestos, a sample must be taken to a laboratory and tested using polarized light microscopy (PLM) as the testing methodology.
