WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF MY HOUSE HAVING ASBESTOS?
Establishing what year your house was built is one of the first questions to ask when considering the likelihood of asbestos usage. As a rule of thumb, if your home was built before 1990 you need to consider that it may contain asbestos and that the material could be located in any room, and from the mid-1980s it is highly likely.
