4:23, we just had this done ourselves and it is super expensive if done by the book. there are two ways to do it. the first is available if you have less than 25 linear feet of asbestos to be removed. this does not require air testing or dob approval and costs around $1,000-$2,500 to do. if you have more than 25 linear feet, it's a more cumbersome process and can cost up to $6k (which is close to what we paid). apparently many people choose the less expensive option (which is just as safe as the more elaborate option) even if the amount of asbestos exceeds the threshold, and some contractors will accomodate this.

You cannot close an open building permit without legally abating the pipe insulation, which should cost between $2500-4000, when done by a licenced abatement contractor - IF you intend to do any work that will risk disturbing the asbestos material. If not, you may leave it as is, undisturbed. It is illegal to have anyone other than a licensed asbestos professional remove asbestos, not to mention potentially hazardous to you and your family. Fines are steep - in the tens of thousands of dollars. If you are doing reno in that space, you will need to hire an independent air quality controller - about another $750, as well. This is required by law. Pipe insulation is quite friable (the most dangerous forms of asbestos are friable - they can break down into a powder easily and release harmful particles into the air), and it is worth having removal done properly (not to mention knowing for a fact your air is clean afterwards), especially if you have young children. Poor removal can release dangerous asbestos particles into the air.

I am not in the hazmat industry, just someone who's been through it - twice.

Most people would know that a post by "guest"(such as this),is done by several people not registered with an account,not all from the same person,John."Isn't that wierd?"
