Many older homes contain this material which, as it ages, can become flaky and turn into an airborne toxin. What is the name of this hazardous material that must be specially removed from a home before demolition can occur?

Most states require a home inspection before demolition or deconstruction can occur, and asbestos is one of the hazardous materials inspectors are looking for. As asbestos ages, it can become flaky, which can lead to it becoming an airborne toxin that can pose health risks for all onsite and in the area. Special disposal of the asbestos must occur before teardown work can begin and the average national cost to get rid of asbestos can range from $200 - $700 per hour.
