Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas of Broward County have a rich history, dating back to the early 1900s with roots in railroad expansion, tourism, and spring break popularity. But with that growth came widespread use of asbestos in the mid-century construction boom — especially in hotels, multifamily buildings, and commercial structures.
Why Asbestos Is Common in Fort Lauderdale
As tourism exploded in the 1950s and 1960s, so did the demand for housing, hotels, and insulation materials that could withstand Florida’s heat. Asbestos was used in:
- Popcorn ceilings
- Drywall and joint compound
- HVAC insulation
- Roof and siding materials
Today, many of these buildings are undergoing renovation or demolition — and asbestos must be addressed before any work begins.
