Instead of paying an arm for asbestos removal you can do it safely, you just soak it with a hose until its completely wet and keep area wet, its of no harm wet.

And then it *STILL* has to be disposed of as HAZARDOUS WASTE, and thats not free either.

Yea in the garbage can it goes like everything else, then to the land fill it goes with all the chemical poisons we dump every day that are a real threat to water and ground. So you DIY in a day or piss off

3-10,000.00 to pro. Asbestos is just bad when airborn so you bury it.

Yes that's a brilliant idea!...NOT. As if playing at being an oil burner mechanic with no tools or training isn't bad enough now you suggest that he becomes an instant asbestos abatement technician. All that training and PPE(personal protective equipment) is so unnecessary. Just hose it down and put it in the trash can. All DIY'ers should get into asbestos removal! Maybe next he could try his hand at elevator repair or helicopter maintenance. It's not rocket surgery after all.

Please let me know where and when for the next time you do this, so I can video tape it and turn it over to the EPA, and OSHA. I can use the reward money.

It doesn't make any difference how you remove it as an uncertified person. The Fine is going to be damned impressive. Also the neighbors have grounds for a Helluva a lawsuit.

[Don Ocean]

I take it you encourage dangerous and illegal removal of Asbestos? Do you also collect the 10 % fee for turning them in? I th9ink its time for you to haul your idiot ass over to alt.criminalsRus.

According to someone who is certified, an owner occupant can remove asbestos in their home. The asbestos has to be double bagged, labeled, and disposed of in a landfill where asbestos is allowed. You could get rid of it through a certified contractor.

Asbestos is dangerous when airborne. If kept wet it is safe. But there is a lot of asbestos on an old boiler.

These absestos companies are rip offs all you asbestos co moaners, keep it wet and its safe and thats what the boiler pro I had here did. If you think for one minute all these pros pay to dump it legaly, its just like I dont believe for 1 second you guys wood either, so cry away.

You may be right about rip off but problem is that it is state law and only people that should be removing asbestoses is those that are license by the state you live in if you get cut otherwise fine can out weight property value and jail term. Tony-S

mr logic316 , obviously you've never spoken to a person with a real education and vocabulary , don't bother coming back with one of your semi-literate 'clever' comebacks , i'm done with you , regards , Jack

LOL; it not that expensive to remove or dispose of properly.

[Zyp]

As well as ANYONE who enters the confined space and becomes sick years later. And the worst is your homeowners insurance won't cover you either. Most liability insurance underwriters are excluding asbestos related lawsuits unless you purchase a specific policy for asbestos abatement.

rancid, you're such a fool

[Zyp]

Funny you mention Rocket surgery, I've met a Rocket Scientist and I'm not so sure of their mechanical ability either.

[Don Ocean]

NO! I dropped my Cert, but I am still up on the laws.. That is federal and not state.

The asbestos has to be double bagged, labeled,

Yes!

You could get

All the Seals are asbestos.. Pretty damned hard to wet them until exposed. Asbestos does not normally migrate as dust when wet, but can still have particulates that you breath as vapor. That is why breathing apparatus is required. A hazmat suit keeps you from assimulating it in other ways.

Whatever the danger is or is not...The Feds will fine the Bejezuz out of you for not doing their way. Why are you Home Repair guys posting here on this subject? Go to an asbestos site run by the Government for straight from the horses mouth advice.

[Don Ocean]

Oh, I don't know about that. Even their failures go boom. How can you condemn a sport that leaves very little evidence that it was a failure?

Hmmm. Do you think state law is the same in all 50 states? And since it's obviously not, how do you know which state the OP even lives in? There is a lot of misinformation here. Some are claiming it's a federal law that a homeowner can't remove or repair asbestos in their own house. Others are claiming it's a state law, without even specifying what state they are talking about.

The fact is, as best as I can determine, the laws vary depending on what the asbestos is actually used in and the state. Most states clearly allow a homeowner to remove asbestos themselves, at least in some forms, ie popcorn ceiling, floor tile, siding, etc. And many states use words like "should be removed by professionals", but don't state that there is any law specifically requiring it.

Here for example is what applies to Puget Sound, WA, from their clean air agency:

"c. Remove it. You may remove the asbestos yourself if you live in and own your single-family house. New homeowners may remove asbestos prior to occupying their house. If you are renovating your rental property or condominium, or are a renter, you must hire a certified asbestos abatement contractor to remove the asbestos. "

Instead of pontificating without facts, it would be helpful if people claiming there is a federal or state law barring homeowners from doing work on asbestos themselves would post some links and references. I think a lot of folks here have taken things way out of context, are applying laws that license and cover PROFESSIONALS doing removal work, etc.

Its not "State", its FEDERAL. It has to do with the "Clean Air Act" among other things....

you might also want to pull out your copy of 29CFR and do a little homework... start with part 1910.

Now run along and play outside.

So when did Puget Sound, WA, which is the example I gave cease to be under Federal control? If you bothered to read the reference and link, you'd clearly see that the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, which would seem to be a far more credible authority than you, says it's permissible for a homeowners in that area to remove or work on their own asbestos. Do you think they would be saying that if there were in fact a Federal law banning it in the USA?

BTW, I did take a look at your references, and just as I said before, you are drawing incorrect conclusions and trying to apply laws that cover doing work commercially, for others, or companies or individuals that violated laws concerning the required procedures, methods, proper disposal of the material etc. We all know if you rip asbestos out of a house and throw it around the street or dump it in the woods, it's illegal. BFD.

So don't show us any more stories covering the above. Still waiting for the reference to the Federal law that says it's illegal for a homeowner to remove asbestos in their own home. That should be easy to do, if in fact it exists.

On the other hand, I can show you lots of state and local govt environmental agencies that even talk about how homeowners may remove asbestos popcorn ceilings and the like themselves and dispose of it properly. Now, if there is a federal law banning that, how can that be?

As for running out and playing in traffic, perhaps that explains your lack of comprehension as to what is actually being discussed as opposed to what you want to spew about.
