n***6 发帖数: 53 | 2 Could we consider a house with the ceramic tile floor installed in 1965 in
the kitchen? The grout might contain asbestos.
Thanks. |

n***6 发帖数: 53 | 3 Dear all,
I really appreciate your reply. Could you let me know how to post a pic?
Sorry I can't type Chinese using my current computer.
We are making an offer for this house, which had original ceramic tile
floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. If these floors + grout/adhesive/
mastics contain asbestos, is it very costly/not safe to remove them when
hiring professionals?
This house also has some very long thin cracks in the basement floor. Our
agent said it is normal. The floor seems even. Do we... 阅读全帖 |

为防止non friable变friable,要做abatement。铅的问题倒是要重视一点,exposure
route更多。 |

k*********a 发帖数: 402 | 7 开墙算是简单的工程了,两个劳模同志一天下午就拆的七七八八。旧的furnace搬到了
attic里拿铁架钉在了屋顶上(其中还包括扩大attic的入口),所有的管道重新安装(
包括处理原来旧的石棉保暖材料)。这部分工加料是$2750,算是便宜的,一般来说
relocate furnace要3到5千,还不包括asbestos abatement等。
Water heater再三考虑还是没用把旧的移到车库里。原因是车库离两个厕所和厨房太远
,光新的管道就不少钱,而且热水也会上的慢。所以就买了新的tankless water
heater装到attic里,利用了大部分原来的管道。使用这么一段时间觉得和有tank的没
什么区别,热水也上的挺快的,不知道以后维护是不是比较麻烦…?
扩出来地方后就是后续的一系列重建工程,包括装洗衣房下水,通电,drywall,瓷砖
等等,我也体验到了老房子的破旧和装修的烧钱。还好做出来的效果还不错,屋子里有
了洗衣房也真的方便不少。饭厅到洗衣房装的是一面墙的毛玻璃拉门,这样从饭厅看起
来比较通透也采光好。从洗手间那边透过来的红色加上洗衣房的绿色也非常有新鲜感。 |

k*********a 发帖数: 402 | 8 可以取一小片材料送专门的分析实验室确认石棉含量。
处理要找有asbestos abatement执照的contractor。
估计要$1000+,还不包括换新的ducting material。 |

怎么找 有asbestos abatement执照的contractor呢? |
|

license。 |

是否含asbestos. 我原来房子含5%. |

L**P 发帖数: 3792 | 18 permit is required for removing asbestos materials
however, I doubt that the goverment is charging $600 for a permit. Maybe
your contractor is ripping you off for this. |

L**P 发帖数: 3792 | 19 yes, if it contains asbestos. |
|
a*****0 发帖数: 3319 | 20 I sent a sample to a local lab and was tested to contain 5% asbestos.
I just called the agency, and was told a permit is required and it will take
about 2 weeks. For the popcorn area between 500-1000 sq ft, the permit fee
is $570, and for the size of 1000-2000 sq ft, the fee will be $829. In my
case it should be $829.This morning I got the quote from the certified
popcorn removal professional, who was busy on a site, through the phone. The
$600 permit fee he said was just an estimate. |

g********3 发帖数: 1281 | 23 What kind of foam insulation to use around electrical box, venting stacks,
etc?
BTW, fiberglass does not contain asbestos, so it is much safer to handle
fiberglass, although one should probably still wear a mask. It is irritating
to skin for sure, so protect your skin.

不可能的,虽然七几年就开始停了 insulation 里的,不过 Asbestos 那玩意儿仍然在
很多材料里存在,车的闸皮里就有。
一些胶带目前用来密封暖气管道),估计除石棉价格1000-1200左右。
不多。
话貌似可以省300块钱。
么?大家觉得我是买1K deductible的自己出钱除石棉,还是买500 deductible的让保
险公司cover一部分啊?非常感谢! |

m*****3 发帖数: 13701 | 25 不知道。要不你搜一下“Asbestos”看专家们咋说的?
了胶带密封的,那个密封的胶带里有石棉。 |

写一下俺2014年的买房记。俺又不是第一次买房了,但是这次买房还是值得一些记录的。
1. 看房
一天晚上,在网上随便溜达,看到这个房子照片和情况比较顺眼.
2014年2月14日情人节就约了卖家代理B (此人果真很装B,很多次气坏俺了)看这个房
子,开始越到2:30pm. 他说Ok。可是突然插了个房检, 赶紧给卖家代理B发信说要改
成下星期一。他没理我。过了一天,插进的房检改成了星期一,这样我就可以继续情人
节2:30pm 的看房计划,赶紧给他发信说改回来2/14 2:30pm 看房子。他说Ok。
可是2/14 日早上,我的Pc坏了,急死我了,给老板打电话报告情况,给IT 打电话找维
修,下午到办公室去了,给IT 的人修,折腾了一个下午。一次又一次地给B 打电话,
一次次地延期。最后问他可以 6pm 去看吗,最后B烦了“ Can't do,
Stop wasting my time. ”俺只能马上写信道歉。这当然是俺的错。告诉他第二天4-
6pm有... 阅读全帖 |

为了上班近,不得已看了一些50年代的老房子,房主翻修过,房子很温馨舒适,但我们
家有小小孩,所以有些担心大家说的石棉和铅的问题,请问请什么样的inspector能查
出来具体石棉和铅是不是超标?房主装修过两年多,是move-in ready的。
谢谢大家 |
