If your Georgia home has problems with asbestos, it can be really stressful. You might be tempted to put it off for a short while, especially if you only recently bought the home, but asbestos can be a lot more serious than you might realize. These are just three of the health effects that could happen from prolonged exposure to asbestos:
- Mesothelioma which is a rare cancer that affects the lungs, chest, or abdomen and is also associated with asbestos.
- Asbestosis causes a reduction in the capacity of your lungs which is caused by inflammation and scarring in the lung tissue.
- While Mesothelioma is a form of cancer, asbestos can also cause cancer of the lung, stomach, and colon.
Asbestos should always be removed by trained professionals. Do not attempt to handle this yourself. You can’t go wrong by choosing Parker Young Construction for handling and removing asbestos when it is found in your home. Give us a call today at (877) 251-2314.
