My home in CA has asbestos siding and is ugly and not in good shape and I would like to add stucco to the house. Could I just stucco over the siding or do I need to remove the siding? Thanks alot for your help.

My next door neighbor is replacing the asbestos roofing tiles on her 45 year old back house. The men doing the work are wearing gas masks. The dust and particles from the removal are flying over my six foot fence which sits about three feet from the structure. My two year old twin daughters were playing in the driveway adjacent to the work area. Is it safe and customary to remove asbestos tiles without some kind of tenting to prevent the dust from blowing into adjacent living areas? If we have been exposed to carcinogens what are the risks? Is it possible my children will contract asbestosis?

My grandfather got diagnosed with lung cancer. Well then he might have asbestos too. How do they treat that? Is it treatable?

For a small to large Asbestos problem, what is the cost to clean it up on LI NY, in a residence, not commercial property. The Asbestos was found in the pipes.

We want to make sure we seal in any of the remaining asbestos dust – but we’d also like it to be a water proofer so we can glue down hardwood floor a few weeks later. We’re getting the masks, and we’re putting plastic in the doorways and making sure we’re safe while removing it – we just want to be prepared w/ the right kind of sealer and I’m not sure what kind to get. Brand names anyone?
we have not removed the asbestos yet.. we’re planning the job before we start! We’d like the sealer to lock in the remaining asbestos fibers and also water proof the concrete for hardwood flooring glue down installation afterwards. we are in the humid south!

I was exploring the basement of this old building downtown and there was construction going on (my friend told me they were working on removing asbestos)… Anyways, we were down there for about 30 minutes or so. Should I worry? Or Is long term exposure the only thing to be afraid of.

melon asked:


I am living in a rental home and found out that our house has asbestos in and around it. We were never informed by our landlords before we moved in that there was any asbestos. I have brought it up to our landlords a few different times and she acts like it is no big deal. So I know she knew about it. Is this leagal?

I am redoing the brakes, and I guess I need to wear a mask if the old brakes were asbestos. It’s an ‘83 Volvo. Any thoughts? I **** masks, and don’t want to wear one if it isn’t strictly necessary.
