For the past 15 years, DTH Corporation GA has been doing business as a class A construction contractor in Newport News, Virginia. One of its areas of expertise is asbestos remediation. By removing asbestos and products containing asbestos from houses and other buildings, DTH Corporation GA is making the world a safer place.
In structures built between 1930 and 1950, the use of asbestos-based insulation was quite prevalent. But this is far from the only source of asbestos in the construction sector. Before asbestos was banned in 1977, many patching compounds and textured paint brands contained it as well. Roofing and siding shingles may also be comprised of asbestos cement.
Other typical sources of asbestos include artificial ashes and embers in gas fireplaces, vinyl floor tiles and backing materials, vinyl sheet flooring and adhesives, door gaskets, and stove-top pads. The insulating and protective materials that surround woodburning stoves/furnaces and hot water/steam pipes also commonly contain asbestos.
