If you are looking for asbestos in the sidings, the best way to tell if you have asbestos sidings is to have them tested. Typically, if a home was built prior to 1980, it is likely that the sidings contain asbestos. However, there are a variety of factors that can affect whether or not asbestos is present in sidings, including when the home was built, what type of materials were used in construction, and how well the material has been preserved. If you are concerned that your home may have asbestos-containing sidings, it is best to consult with an expert who can test the material and advise you on next steps.

The only reliable way to determine if a material contains asbestos is to have it tested by a qualified professional. Some common signs that a material may contain asbestos include: - the material has a fibrous texture; - the material is crumbly or brittle; and - the material releases fibers when it is disturbed.
