Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Vine as well as Barbara Dooley of Five Points, Georgia began remodeling their home during the fall. They didn’t expect to possess to demolish half of their home as well as start existing in the pool house until it could be rebuilt.

The Dooleys’ home was built in the 1950s, a time when asbestos was widely used in both insulation as well as fireproofing materials. The toxic substance is known to cause cancer, as well as it has to be removed in compliance with strict environmental regulations. The house was as well as contaminated with mold. Remediating both the mold as well as asbestos contamination meant that it would be less expensive to tear down part of the house as well as rebuild than it would be to renovate it.

The middle section of the main house is completely gone, as well as the Dooleys will remain in the pool house until rebuilding work finishes up next spring.
