We have what looks to be asbestos wraps on our hot water pipes and we are knocking our house down. I was told it will have to be inspected and removed if it is asbestos. I was told by one company it would be at least $800. Can anyone give me an idea of what it may cost and if that sounds right? There may be 20-30ft of it.
Thanks

google “”home owners disposing of asbestos in rhode island”". I did not read it all, but think if you wrap the pipe in plastic and cut it. You then can take it to the proper dump site. why pay to have some one do that for you? EDIT;; in many states home owners do not have follow the bureaucratic guidelines that the service companies do.You should be able to do this yourself there is no danger Just follow procedures.

Get several estimates. Companies have to be certified in order to do this type of work. There is a lot of prep involved other than just the actual removal. They have to set up a containment area as well as a shower area and the material has to be packaged in a particular way in order to be able to dispose of it. There is a cost involved in the actual disposal as well. When you take all of that in to consideration, it’s possible that $800 is reasonable. The only way to know is shop around.
