Mesothelioma Asbestos Lung Cancer
Is there a good or safe way to remove asbestos that insulates pipes leading from your boiler / heater?
I know you have to have a company in hazmat suits come out and they seal the area off and work with a machine that draws in the air and fibers, but isn’t there still some residue in the air and on things that can be dangerous? I’m worried I should sell the house and not live here myself during or after the renovation. I’m worried about mesothelioma… lung cancer from inhaling bits of asbestos. So far, I’ve just not touched the asbestos… hoping not stirring it up would be safer, but now I have problems with my boiler and will have to have it replaced, which means dealing with the asbestos problem. sigh.
Asbestos is nasty, nasty stuff if it gets airborne, so this is definitely not a material you want to take chances with. Your mitigation contractor can advise you as to whether or not you should find other lodging while the work goes on. Here’s what you need to know about asbestos and asbestos cleanup:
