Renovating a property in the vibrant city of New York is an exciting prospect. However, it’s essential to be aware of potential hazards, particularly asbestos and lead, which can lurk in older buildings. At NYTDR (New York Total Damage Restoration), we offer comprehensive services to address these concerns during your renovation, serving as your trusted partner for asbestos and lead removal, insurance representation, and even as your contractor and designer.
Understanding the Risks: Asbestos and Lead
Asbestos:
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials for its fire resistance and durability. However, it poses severe health risks when its fibers become airborne and are inhaled. These risks include lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory conditions. Asbestos was commonly used in buildings constructed before the 1980s, making it a concern during renovations.
Lead:
Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes and buildings until 1978, when its health hazards became widely recognized. Lead exposure, especially for children, can lead to developmental issues, learning disabilities, and other health problems. Renovating properties with lead-based paint can release toxic lead dust and chips into the environment, making lead safety measures essential.
When to Address Asbestos and Lead During NYC Renovations:
- Renovation or Demolition: If your renovation project involves disturbing or removing building materials, a thorough inspection and assessment for asbestos and lead are imperative.
- Property Age: Buildings constructed before specific regulatory changes (the 1980s for asbestos and 1978 for lead-based paint) are more likely to contain these hazardous materials.
