Why Troy Properties Need Asbestos Inspection
Troy's growth during the postwar decades left the city with thousands of homes and commercial buildings that may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The risk is highest in properties built between 1950 and 1978 — the peak years of asbestos use in American construction.
Common locations where asbestos is found in Troy properties:
- Floor tiles (especially 9"×9" vinyl tiles) and black mastic adhesive underneath
- Popcorn and textured ceiling coatings
- Drywall joint compound installed before 1977
- Pipe and boiler insulation around older
- HVAC systems
- Attic insulation, including vermiculite-based products
- Original roofing felt and shingle underlayment
