asbestos licensed contractors
Can asbestos be 100% removed from a house where there is tested to be high Asbestos explosures area?
Say, if I hrie a fully licensed asbestos abatement contractor to do the removal/clean-up, after they do the job, how certain it is that the asbestos problems will be resolved?
Does anybody has any asbestos removal experience before?
There is a BROKEN transite vent pipe located in the attic. I got the test result says the transite pipe is a ACM, contains 22% asbestos.
Some HVAC contrabors did the installation work in the attic and broke the transite pipe without knowing it’s a hazard of asbestos explosures. The broken transite pipe was left without any proper 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.
