Why Asbestos Is Commonly Found In Roofs
Peniel’s professional asbestos roof removal team will assess and safely remove asbestos roofing from your commercial or residential structure of any size.
Have you recently purchased a commercial or residential property in NH, MA, ME, CT, VT, or RI? You’re probably ready to renovate or move in. As you’re getting ready to clear old building materials your contractor makes a note of the cement shingles. As you come to find out, those shingles have quite a history - and not a very great one.
It all started when inventor and entrepreneur Ludwig Hatschek purchased a factory for asbestos goods in Upper Austria in 1893. Following his purchase, he succeeded in inventing asbestos cement and began opening up factories in 1900 to meet the soon-to-be rising demands. It didn’t take long for word to travel to the United States and pretty soon, builders were lining up to get their hands on this cement. Made with a mixture of asbestos fibers and hydraulic cement, asbestos-cement roof shingles were rigid, durable and fireproof, making it every homeowner’s dream for a roofing solution.
But alas, came the fall of asbestos. In 1929, the first claim against the mixture was made stating that it caused pulmonary disease. Laws and regulations were soon put it to place to regulate the sales and creation of asbestos.
However, It wasn’t until 1989 that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an Asbestos Ban and Phase Out Rule in the United States. Finally, the use of this problematic concrete mixture had come to in an end.
Yet even now, in 2018, many homes in Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire have to go through an asbestos removal process. And that cement shingle roof of yours? It’s worth having it surveyed and tested in order to protect the residents who live or work inside your recently purchased building.
Fortunately, Peniel Environmental Solutions is no stranger to this removal process. In fact, our team of technicians are trained to demonstrate the utmost respect for you, your building and your belongings while removing or abating asbestos in your building. Whether you live in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont or Maine, we will follow all state regulations to ensure that the asbestos is removed properly and according to code.Asbestos has been found in many roofs that contain shingles. The cement mixture used to create these shingles often contain asbestos. Once sawed or drilled, these products can potentially release asbestos fibers into the air if they were made with an asbestos cement mixture. In addition to roofs, asbestos can also be found in furnaces, boilers, piping, walls, siding, window glazing & window caulking.

If ignored, the dangers and risks of asbestos exposure are great
Studies have shown that asbestos is a substance that can cause cancer and once a person is exposed, risks of developing lung cancer and mesothelioma can increase. Additionally, asbestos exposure may also increase the risk of asbestosis. Asbestosis is an inflammatory condition affecting the lungs that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and permanent lung damage.

Common questions
Before You Call, the Honest Answers.
Are Rhode Island's 1960s ranch homes at asbestos risk?
Yes. Ranch homes built in Rhode Island between 1955 and 1975 commonly contain textured ceiling compounds, 9×9 vinyl floor tiles, and HVAC duct insulation with asbestos. These are the most common asbestos-containing materials in Rhode Island's post-war housing stock and are regularly encountered during kitchen, bathroom, and flooring renovation projects.
How does asbestos affect Rhode Island's active real estate market?
Rhode Island's high transaction volume — buyers seeking Providence proximity at lower prices — means asbestos findings come up regularly in pre-1980 property inspections. Post-war ranch homes and Cape Cods have the highest hit rates for floor tiles and duct insulation. Pre-listing surveys and abatement clearance documentation are increasingly standard for Rhode Island sellers.
