The short answer is YES!

Floor tiles, joint compounds, attic insulation, and duct insulation are some of the common areas you will find asbestos in your home.  Even in newer homes, (post 1980's) asbestos can be found in materials such as laminate flooring or vinyl floor coverings, adhesives, and even concrete.  Contrary to popular belief, there is not a ban on asbestos containing materials in the US, so even new homes do posses containing materials.

Before moving forward with any renovations or demolition projects on your residential property regardless of the age, it is a very worthwhile exercise to hire a licensed asbestos inspector to survey your project and potentially save you a lot of money for improper material disposal violations.
