I am looking for asbestos-containing materials in the house. What materials are common asbestos-containing materials? Asbestos has been used in a wide variety of building materials, including insulation, roofing shingles, ceiling tiles, and floor tiles. It was also used in older construction products such as joint compound, textured paints, and adhesives. If your home was built before 1980, it's likely that at least some of these products were used in its construction.

The most common materials that contain asbestos are insulation, floor tiles, and roofing shingles. Other common materials that may contain asbestos are duct tape, plaster, and drywall. If you have any of these materials in your home, it's best to have them tested for asbestos before you start remodeling or demolishing them.
