This crawlspace was actually pretty spacious compared to some, but there were some low spots where it is actually a “drag space”.
I’m dragging my body…not crawling.

Think your post-1980s building is safe from asbestos?
Think again!

In this video, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in construction and real estate:
that newer buildings don’t require asbestos testing.

Key Takeaways:
• Pre-1980s: High likelihood of asbestos presence.

• The 1980s & 1990s: Asbestos is commonly found in roof mastics, floor mastics, and other specialized materials.

• Post-1990: While the risk is lower, testing requirements are still in place.

• Enforcement Matters:
These videos are geared to Southern California, but rules will vary by state and air district.

Don’t skip the safety check! Whether you’re a homeowner or a contractor, staying compliant with OSHA worker protections isn’t just a rule—it’s essential for your health.

🏠✨ Home for the Holidays (But Make It Safe) 🎁

The holidays are all about comfort, family, and time spent at home — but before the gatherings begin, it’s a good idea to make sure your space is as safe as it is cozy. ❄️

Older homes and winter projects can sometimes uncover hidden hazards like:
🧱 Asbestos in textured ceilings, flooring, or joint compound
🎨 Lead-based paint in older finishes
💧 Mold from leaks or trapped moisture

These materials aren’t always visible, but they can impact both your home’s safety and your family’s health — especially when disturbed during cleaning, decorating, or renovation.

At 3West Environmental, we help identify and test for these concerns so you can focus on what truly matters this season — enjoying a safe, happy, and healthy home. ❤️

From our team to yours, happy holidays from 3West Environmental! 🎄
