Renovating an older home or commercial space? Here’s something most people miss: not all warning signs of hazardous materials are obvious. Sometimes, what looks like a bit of dust or an old pipe could actually be a red flag for asbestos or hidden mold.
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a project and overlook these risks—until they become a bigger (and more expensive) problem. If your property was built before the 1990s, it’s worth pausing to check for subtle clues that you might need professional hazardous material removal before you move forward.
