Asbestos In The Abandoned House! SUPER DANGEROUS! (EP.10)

What happens here

Based on the lab results, formulate a plan for safely handling any confirmed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). For materials like the vinyl floor tile with 2% asbestos, even low percentages require precautions. Wear appropriate respirators (e.g., N95 or P100) and gloves when working near or with these materials. The primary goal is to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air. This often means carefully removing materials without breaking them, wetting them down to suppress dust, and avoiding power tools that create dust. For extensive or high-percentage ACMs, consider hiring a certified asbestos abatement professional. The presenter expresses relief for the drywall and insulation testing negative, simplifying their demolition plans, but emphasizes strict precautions for the floor tiles to minimize dust and ensure worker safety.

Goal: Develop a safety plan for working with confirmed asbestos-containing materials, focusing on minimizing disturbance and exposure.

Tools and materials

now for my research even though there is asbestos in the floor tile from my research is that anything that has in that I think it's like sub five percent but it's in that one to two percent uh composition is not as dangerous to us um we're fortunately it's just a small section it's the only section that I found that actually has a floor tile so when we're using it we're gonna make sure we're a respirator where our gloves uh keep the dust from flowing up to an absolute minimum try not to break any of that stuff which you know when you're bringing up old stuff it will happen but two percent asbestos uh not as terrifying in a small section like that I have a little bit sense of relief to know that we're going to be working in somewhat of a I don't know not as much of a dangerous environment where I'm putting myself at risk and danger and the guys that work with me Kyle and Tim and everybody else so um pretty pretty dang happy with these test results as overall uh we're here we got we did our due diligence we got the test done they're cheap like I said if you're working in an older home highly highly encourage you to get this test result I'll link the stuff that I use in the description below they're not a sponsor they're not affiliated it's just the ones that I found that had the best reviews on it they're sent to a lab they check them out keeps me safe keeps my family and my crew safe thank you so much for watching this video I'm excited to start working on the inside there's a few other projects that we're gonna have to figure out in the backyard like we want to build a big pergola which is going to be insane we're going to build this giant pad for the patio and uh obviously we're gonna paint this house so please tune back next week for the next video I'm so excited for it check this video right here they think you might enjoy
