Here, if it has asbestos, it HAS to come out. If it's more than 20 yrs old.. it has asbestos... certainly, because that is what was sold.
If it's less than 20 yrs old.. it may still have asbestos, so it still has to be checked. Then removed with full HAZMAT rules in place.. house sealed, pressurized, full pressure suits with the whole business. Then the removed material has to be disposed of as HAZMAT material. Think, mesotheloma [sp] cancer.. let someone else do it with all the right stuff.. you'll be glad you did. Grant...
