home inspectors san diego home inspection

I am so glad I decided on this company.  The home inspector knew his stuff, and explained the report to me in a way that was clear.  I was able to negotiate my purchase and saved a lot of money.  Thanks for everything.        -  Karla P., San Diego

Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral with long, thin fibrous crystals. The word asbestos (ἄσβεστος) is a borrowed Greek adjective meaning inextinguishable. The Greeks termed asbestos the miracle mineral because of its soft and pliant properties, as well as its ability to withstand heat.  This article describes this miracle mineral and why asbestos in your home can be toxic to you and your family.
