I thought long and hard about the need to remove the asbestos instead of encapsulating it. In the end, I decided that I did not want the asbestos to be a "show stopper" when we are selling the house. Searching Angie's list yielded no leads. I went through the phone book but few were interested in a small residential job. I thought about doing it myself and did find a company that would accept the removed asbestos. The thought of lying on my back in the crawl space with water dripping in my face while wearing a big mask persuaded me to not do it myself. I did get two estimates. In order to get one of them, I had to pay $500 for them to test the material to see if it was asbestos. (it was). The quote from one required us to vacate the house for the week that it would take to do the job. I finally found Fibertech through a friend. They provided a reasonable quote and explained the process. They notified the state, came when they said, the crew was professional and the work was completed when they said. Subsequently, I decided not to replace the insulation to see if there was a spike in the heating cost. There was not - and the basement was much more habitable during the winter.
Description of Work: Removed and disposed of asbestos pipe insulation and cleaned the mudded fittings in basement and crawlspace per NYS and OSHA regulations on a hot water home heating system. To do this, had to seal and filter air in the basement. Per New York State regulations, I had to hire an organization to monitor the air in the house and surrounding areas at an additional cost.
