Having dogs
can sometimes mean being careful about how your house smells. After I’ve been gone for a little while and
come home, I notice if there’s any unpleasant odor from my two sweet but mischievous
dogs. Unpleasant household smells can be
caused by various objects within the home, and when I smell anything but a
pleasant odor, I am unhappy and immediately finding the cause. Why? Because it is normal to want our homes
clean and safe. But what about safety
issues we cannot smell or detect easily?
For example, how do asbestos fibers smell? If I don’t smell anything, does it mean
there’s nothing dangerous lurking in my house?
I have always been taught it is better to be safe than sorry. If you believe there may be asbestos fibers
airborne in your house, calling a specialist is important to your health and
safety.
Just recently I was in a home where
one of the bathrooms had chipped tile.
The question came up as to whether the tile might be asbestos. One of the home’s residents has COPD. I do not know if the tile is asbestos, but
action is being taken to insure the health and safety of the home’s
residents. Asbestos that has been
disturbed and has airborne fibers may have no detectible odor but the health
issues are still there.
If you believe your home, rental
property, or commercial building may have an asbestos issue, call the
professionals at Crisis Cleaning. While
undisturbed, asbestos may have no harmful effects but when it is disturbed and
airborne fibers are present, it’s time to make sure all is well with your
home. You might think of it like a
rattlesnake in the mountains, undisturbed and causing no problems, but then
when a person disturbs the snake, look out, big problem. I don’t think Crisis Cleaning handles snake
problems but when it comes to asbestos, they are certified professionals. Remember, better to be safe than sorry. Give Crisis Cleaning a call today toll free
