Asbestos removal
During the inspection pre-purchase the engineer noted we had a lot of asbestos on the piping in the basement. Not being up to speed on these things we did think about just leaving it there but some friends noted that we could easily get taken to the cleaners if a pipe burst with the asbestos on it. We also found out that it may be a problem on the ground floor renovation with the dob aproval if it was still there. So much like all the other items that have come up we called round a few folks and here's the results... Liam and co from Leinster contracting did a great job.

As you see from the above photos the asbestos had cracked in quite a few places and we didn't realise but this was all over the floor. The guys spray washed the entire basement and now we have the official document noting the full asbestos abatement. Just in case someone else is thinking of doing this you need a licensed pro which you can check on the NOV.gov web site.
Cost was $2400 and we had aprox 125 feet of piping to take care of. It took one day and i'd definitely reccomend Liam and the guys at Leinster contracting. Good guys.
