Does anyone know how I can tell whether I have asbestos insulation in my home or not? The insulation I have is brown wool like material (fluffy nickel-sized clumps) seems to be all intertwined-not separated clumps. My home was built in 1948.
It may be cellulose insulation, which is made up of newspaper, it has a brown appearance. but given the age of your home, I would have it checked out to make sure. These days, we install fiberglass insulation, which has a white, cottony appearance.
