Asbestos removal costs

A few years back, we spend $4500 for removing asbestos wrapped pipes in the cellar when we replace old boiler at home. It’s not a big job, but cost more.

Here are some facts since this thread is all over the place: Any “plumber” who tries to remove asbestos is not a legit plumber. A plumber will lose his/her license and will be held criminally liable for any contamination that occurs as a result of their disturbing the product. I know because it’s been drilled into my head for years by the Dept of Buildings, because I’m a licensed plumber. If they hire someone to do it for you, chances are pretty darn good they’re putting a couple hundred bucks markup on there for themselves for the convenience of having made that telephone call for you. Do yourself a favor and call a company and have it done and take the certification (ACP-5) holding you harmless that the remediation was done properly and in a compliant way before the plumber/heating company gets there to change the boiler.

Master Plvmber – you yourself said above “I?ve had many done for under $2,500.” about asbestos removal. Did you do this before you became a plumber? I think I will get pros in there, just so that everything is up to code and I have no headaches. Thanks everyone, as always!
