link to asbestos site

[John Dirks Jr]

Take a look at this asbestos site. Do you see any reasons why you think a home inspector should not link to it from their site? It seemed to me to be a site designed at directing persons into litigation. Not really a HI issue directly huh?

If you need to send folks to an external site, the EPA has basic, understandable information for homeowners living with asbestos products. www.epa.gov/asbestos/pubs/ashome.html

This would be a good opportunity to add a page of content to your own site, provided it's accurate and well-written. It'd be another page full of keywords for folks to find and visit.

I'd think you're one of the HIs that would research the issue thoroughly and not plagiarize some folklore - like many HIs do - just to fill up space on another page.

Yep, I already link to the EPA. The link path I post at my site is to the pollutants level which then has paths to asbestos, radon, mold lead, etc..

I got a phone call from this other one today. They wanted me to trade links with them. I'm gonna pass on this one.
