Asbestos is a strong fiber that does not burn, and therefore in the past was widely used for fireproofing and insulation. It was discovered that the small, buoyant fibers are easily inhaled or swallowed, causing a number of serious diseases including: asbestosis, (a chronic disease of the lungs that makes breathing more and more difficult); cancer; and mesothelioma. Today, use of asbestos in building materials is banned, and owners of buildings constructed before 1981 must be able to prove that their building is free of the hazardous material.

Attention to Detail
Regardless of when your home was built, the risk of hazardous air quality could be a viable concern for your family. Increases in cases of sick building syndrome have led to heightened awareness and education, but there is still confusion. Below is a summary of the most common hazardous materials found in homes.
Mold not only destroys materials, it can have serious impacts on your health. Elevated levels of mold spores in the air have been shown to pose significant health risks. The National Toxicology Program has associated two mold-produced toxins (aflatoxins and ochratoxin A) with liver and kidney tumors in animals and people.
Asbestos has been linked to a number of serious diseases including: asbestosis, cancer and mesothelioma. If your home was built before 1981 (at which time use of asbestos was banned) you should confirm that any asbestos has been remediated.
Lead is a highly toxic metal that can cause a wide range of health problems. When taken into the body, lead toxicity impacts the nervous system and the cardiovascular system, and in some cases the reproductive systems.
REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS
For years brokers, real estate agents, home inspectors and others in the real estate industry have been well aware of the requirements around lead and asbestos abatement. However these days, many are taking note of the growing concerns around mold contamination of properties. If mold, asbestos or lead is identified in a property that you are representing, Synatech can provide professional remediation services that are quick and affordable. In most residential structures, remediation takes only 1-2 days. Weâ€™ll help you solve the problem quickly (and confidently) to expedite the property closing.
If you are referring clients to inspectors to test for mold or remediation companies that offer low cost solutions, you may wish to reconsider your position. Home inspectors performing mold tests may not carry insurance for any such testing or assessments. This could leave you vulnerable.

Multi-unit and commercial properties have special considerations for any type of maintenance or repair service.
