Do you seen any hazardous materials in this water damage photo? If the home was built prior to 1978, it is possible that there is lead paint present. Also, plaster, drywall, and joint compound may contain asbestos. Removal of these items can expose restoration technicians and homeowners to hazardous materials. It is important that all building materials be evaluated and, if necessary, tested for hazardous material before demolition work is started. The health and safety of workers and property owners is always the first priority on restoration projects!
