Dear Valued Customers,
If you live in or own a home built before 1978, this message is especially important for you.
Potential Hazards in Older Homes: Lead Paint and Asbestos
Homes constructed before 1978 may contain lead-based paint and asbestos materials. These substances pose significant health risks, particularly to children, pregnant women, and older adults.
Why is this important?
- Lead Paint: Even small amounts of lead can cause serious health problems. Lead exposure is particularly harmful to young children, potentially leading to developmental issues and learning disabilities.
- Asbestos: When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and inhaled, increasing the risk of lung disease and cancer.
What can you do?
- Get your home tested: Have a professional inspect your home for lead paint and asbestos. This is especially important if you plan on renovating or remodeling.
- Stay informed: Learn about the dangers of lead and asbestos and how to handle them safely. The EPA and CDC websites offer valuable resources.
- Hire professionals for remediation: If your home tests positive for lead or asbestos, hire certified professionals to safely remove or contain these hazardous materials.
Your health and safety are our top priorities. Please take the necessary steps to ensure a safe living environment for you and your loved ones.
