Asbestos in California Buildings

The highest amount of asbestos in California is contained by houses that have been built prior to the 1970’s. The law mentions friable asbestos and black glue asbestos being present in roughly 40 percent of all buildings that were built in that period and even some newer ones have turned positive test results.

Asbestos law in California for building houses

The asbestos laws in California concerning the building of houses has changed when asbestos was classified as a very dangerous material. These laws don’t only refer to new buildings, but also to old houses that undergo renovation process. Here are some rules that need to be followed:

  • It is very important that any new buildings have a construction permit before the work is started
  • This permit is only awarded to those that can provide with documents and legal papers that clearly state the fact that no asbestos materials will be used
  • Renovation work can commence only after any type of asbestos materials found are completely removed, disposed of properly and replaced with non asbestos materials
  • An inspector has to give its’ approval during any construction, demolition or renovation work

California asbestos apartment’s history

A public health report has been issued lately stating that anyone living in a leased property should obtain a document stating that the building does not contain any kind of asbestos materials, and if it does, the owner should hire an asbestos removal company right away. This is known a asbestos disclosure, and can contain several other rules and regulations.

Are you suspecting asbestos exposure in a building located in CA?

If so, it is very important that you let the owner know as soon as possible and recommend that he acts quickly by contacting an asbestos removal company. Any type of asbestos product that has been damaged in any way is possible to release asbestos fibers. This is hazardous, because in some cases even the smallest of doses are known to produce strong side effects, or even death.

So, we recommend that you only rent or buy houses that have been tested against asbestos and have documents that prove the building is asbestos free. Also keep in mind that if you discover asbestos in a recently purchased building, you can ask the former owner to cover removal costs completely.
