Asbestos Abatement/Removal solid energy stories.?

I live in a 117 year frail house with hot sea heat. Many of the pipes are insulated within asbestos. By and large, it is surrounded by good condition and yeah, I know that the best item to do is just to move out it alone. However, in the long run I would consider getting it removed. So to minister to make my result I would like to hear some authentic life abatement/removal stories from anyone ready to share them; especially the details of hassle, finding a reliable contractor, time it took (man hours/ and days), and expense. Thank you.


Answers:    Hello,

You can get sick if you live on a house beside asbestos. Please consider re-locating.
We decided to convert our attached garage into a big eat-in kitchen. My husband started demo on the walls and discovered about a devout wall and half into it i.e. was asbestos!(the garage be added only just about 15 years ago according to the abstract and title company). Obviously concerned, we contacted a local contractor about how to properly remove and dispose of it. The contractor said that it would cost upwards of $3000 to own him come out, remove and dispose it. Or, we could wear masks, spray the asbestos boards beside water to hold the dust down and triple bag it. We remunerated $175 to our local landfill to "dispose" of it from there.

When if truth be told tearing it out, it broke bad in sort of good sized chunks and individual took about a total of 8 hours (over 2 days) to crack it down.

Good Luck!
