Asbestos tape

During the cold Michigan winters, we all rely heavily on our HVAC system to keep us warm. It is recommended that you inspect the condition of your system every year, and it’s very possible you could run into something called asbestos tape. Asbestos tape resembles white medical tape and it’s used to seal trunk lines together or repair damages. When first applied, the tape is harmless, however, as the tape ages it will start to crack allowing tiny particles to break off. When this happens, spores are released into the air we breathe and this can be an extreme health hazard. According to the mayo clinic, Asbestosis (as-bes-TOE-sis) is a chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Prolonged exposure to these fibers can cause lung tissue scarring and shortness of breath. Asbestosis symptoms can range from mild to severe, and usually don’t appear until many years after continued exposure. Amber’s Air Duct Cleaning in Perry MI recognizes the harm asbestos tape can do to you and your family. If our technicians come across asbestos tape, we will notify you immediately and recommend it be professionally managed. 

Cracking the Code in Perry MI

Have you ever needed to “play doctor” and look up a health symptom you or a loved one was experiencing? Not many people know this but, the quality of your HVAC system can affect your health! Symptoms like shortness of breath, a dry cough, loss of appetite or weight loss, fingertips and toes that appear wider and rounder than normal (clubbing), and chest pain or tightness, are all due to Asbestosis, a chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers.

Asbestos tape was commonly used back then to seal the joints of air duct lines and when first applied, it’s harmless. As time passes, that tape starts to crack and it releases asbestos fibers into your circulating air. Unfortunately, a family in Perry MI had no idea what their HVAC system was doing to their health. Before starting the cleaning process, Amber’s Air Duct Cleaning technicians inspected the duct work and spotted a great amount of cracking asbestos tape. For years, the gentleman living there was experiencing shortness of breath, a dry cough, and very fatigue, but he and his wife never knew why. Immediately, our technicians informed the homeowners and stressed the health complications asbestos could cause. Finally, things were starting to make sense and the home owners were relieved to have answers with regards to the husband’s health. One month later, after replacing their entire HVAC system, the wife called and expressed their appreciation to Amber’s Air Duct Cleaning in Perry MI and even updated us on her husband’s health improvements!
