The presence of asbestos or mold on a property will not go away with time, though many property owners may seek to ignore the possibility. In fact, these substances become more harmful with the passing of time, as asbestos in walls, ceilings and flooring begins to break down and particulates enter the air, where they are even more harmful. Mold will only continue to multiply in damp areas if not contained and can endanger the entire property and all inhabitants.
