Putting windowsbin a house with asbestos siding.

It s never good to have asbestos in or on your home but siding is one of the lowest risk categories. Asbestos ranks high on the list of dangerous substances because of its toxic and carcinogenic properties when airborne. Start by hooking the siding on the bottom of the starter strip with the nail holes facing upward. This is probably the best pipe for water mains because of the lack of friction.

Wrap asbestos siding in 6 mil thick plastic sheeting and secure the plastic with duct tape or place the debris in heavy duty plastic bags. Now that you have your backer board up and set firmly in place you can put the siding up safely without worrying about the asbestos falling down behind the siding. While older homes will likely contain asbestos in roofing insulation and tiles it can also be present in exterior siding. Gently pull the nails from siding around window and cut the siding using a wet tile saw.

I have this on my house and at the refinery i retired from we used licensed contractors for asbestos insulation. Keep the siding wet when cutting. It is dangerous when friable or able to create dust. In san diego bought up all the available pipe before the ban.

It s difficult to break up and make friable basically crushing it enough that the dangerous fibers are released and difficult to inhale enough fibers if they are somehow released to be dangerous. Transite water pipe are no longer made. If i owned a house with asbestos siding i would drill a hole in it if i wanted to.
