Caution: Have you checked for asbestos?

If your home was built or renovated before the 1990s, there is a possibility that it may contain asbestos, especially in areas such as ceilings, eaves, internal walls, or flooring.

If you're unsure whether your house contains asbestos, it's essential to check before proceeding. Asbestos can only be identified and removed by a licensed contractor.
