Asbestos in Older Syracuse Homes

Common renovation discoveries

Flooring, pipe insulation, boiler materials, siding, textured finishes, and other products may become visible as a renovation progresses.

Do not assume every old material contains asbestos

Some older-looking materials do not contain asbestos, and some newer products may still raise questions. Testing provides a definitive answer for sampled material.

Plan before demolition begins

If a project will open walls, remove floors, replace mechanical systems, or demolish building components, address suspect materials first.
