Can asbestos be 100% removed from a house where there is tested to be high Asbestos explosures area?
Say, if we hrie the entirely protected asbestos decrease executive to do the removal/clean-up, after they do the job, how sure it is which the asbestos problems will be resolved?
Does anybody has any asbestos dismissal knowledge before?
There is the BROKEN transite opening siren located in the attic. we got the exam outcome says the transite siren is the ACM, contains 22% asbestos.
Some HVAC contrabors did the designation work in the integument as well as pennyless the transite siren but meaningful it’s the jeopardy of asbestos explosures. The damaged transite siren was left but any correct wrapping.

The pipe can be left in place and actually should be as long as it’s in good condition.
What needs to be done is to seal the broke end so no more frayed off fibers can enter the atmosphere. That is of course if the pipe is no longer being used.
Asbestos is dangerous, but over concern creates a scare.
Since the damaged end is not in your living quarters and is up in the attic, I hope you get to feeling better about it.
Construction workers can be exposed to 0.1 fiber/cubic centimeter over an 8 hour work day and an excursion limit of 1.0 fiber/cubic centimeter as averaged over 30 minutes.
Call them back to wrap and seal it up. Check their work and forget about it.
Of course, if you want to have it removed, by all means do so. It’s just that fibers are released a lot of time during removal. That’s why I support leaving it there until necessary to remove it.
you can remove a 3 sq ft area by your self,
if its true asbestos
in a house i doubt it , the only time its in a house is in floor tile,
and that’s called non friable
the scare about astobestos is blown way out of portion,
we use it by the 100 lb bag to insulate steam pipes and no one has ever gotton any thing from it,
its like any kind of dust, use a dust mask
you can remove those and throw them in the trash
Info Info where is it located, what is it on ?
In almost every case study I’ve read, the amount of airborne asbestos particulates has increased AFTER the asbestos removal efforts. A better choice would be to seal the pipe in question with a plastic cover.
Several years ago the New York City School System spent $1 BILLION on asbestos abatement. Tests after completion found a substantially higher amount of asbestos particulates in the air.
The entire asbestos scare was based on junk science and the media looking for the latest big story.

William b has it all messed up here..stating asbestos can only be in floor tile..It can be in the tile,on the exterior siding, and even in the drywall joint compound and textures as well if old enough…Alot of houses years ago had a roofing tile that was actually the inside ceiling as well that was 6 inch thick asbestos..along what I mentioned, there are more than 100 other building materials that contained asbestos as well…When an asbestos abatement team comes in they remove by whatever means necessary the asbestos..then will spray areas with a sealer that will contain any dust preventing future airborne asbestos ..If the company does what they should..let the house air out for a day afterwards for any remaining airborne particles then you will be fine..Just make sure the removal contractor gives you a WRITTEN certificate/contract stating it was/or will be totally sealed or removed
I also agree that the asbestos thing is totally over hyped…asbestos is not dangerous unless it becomes friable, that is, that it begins to crumble and release particles in the air. Even that, I’m not convinced of the danger because I had several uncles that worked shipyards during WW2 and spent 4 years blowing asbestos insulation into the ship hulls. They all died of natural non-asbestos-related causes.
So, asbestos is really found in all sorts of building materials, and was widely used between the 1920s to 1970s. It turns up in paint, plaster, adhesives, floor and wall tiles, insulation, popcorn textures, wrapping duct work and boilers, and a few more things. If you have an older house, you can not make it 100% asbestos free until you gut the entire house and start over.
What is friable and can be easily removed should be removed. If it’s sealed in the wall or the floors, leave it alone or you’ll end up stirring up more asbestos.
We have a 120 year old house and went through an abatement process because we had 5 layers of kitchen linoleum that had to be removed with two of the layers testing positive for asbestos. Had we merely applied new linoleum over the old stuff, we would have been fine to leave it alone.
the best bet is to get removed by a certified abatement contractor (and hope they do the job right). the asbestos is already disturbed and its already airborne since u said that they worked on it and broke it and my guess is its 22% chrysotile. so it has to be removed since the asbestos fibers is already disturbed u cant just cover it up, and make sure they run pcm samples( well they have to, but some don’t) while they are doing the abatement to insure the Quality of the removal.also make sure they set up a decon before they sstart working so the asbestos wont spread
