Q: Can you gut a house down to the studs if you think it has asbestos?

• <div><p>Yes. Gutting a house to the studs may actually be a good option if you believe a home contains toxic materials like asbestos, mold, or lead paint. However, <b>this must be done under the supervision of licensed remediation experts.</b> </p></div>

Q: Do all gravity furnaces have asbestos?

• <div><p>No, but it&rsquo;s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren&rsquo;t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn&rsquo;t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.</p></div>

Q: Is it legal to cover asbestos tile with new flooring?

• <div><p>It is legal to cover asbestos tile with new flooring. For some homeowners, this is a reasonable option to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading in the home and reduce health hazards. However, it&rsquo;s a better long-term solution to completely remove asbestos from your home rather than cover it up.</p></div>

Q: What is the method of sealing off asbestos?

• <div><p>To seal off, or encapsulate, asbestos-containing materials in your home, you&rsquo;ll need to utilize a sealant specifically designed for asbestos encapsulation. These sealants bind with asbestos fibers to keep them from spreading throughout the air and causing bodily harm. In many cases, these sealants can be simply painted on, but you&rsquo;ll need to wear a protective body suit as well as an asbestos-rated respirator to interact with these materials safely.</p></div>

Q: What steps are involved post-abatement?

• <div><p>Detailed cleaning, air quality testing, and proper disposal of hazardous materials.</p></div>
