Hey Mr. Build It!
As an industrial hygienist I really appreciate you putting this video together to remind people about the safety aspect of doing home remodels. I have a few things that I’ve learned in my experience performing asbestos inspections that I’d like to share with you and your viewers: A material is considered to be asbestos containing if it has 1% or more in it, so those floor tiles do need to be disposed of properly. However, floor tile is your best case scenario as long as you keep them from getting broken, then the fibers will stay locked inside. Please use plenty of water when removing the tiles to prevent fibers from spreading in the air, and use the purple P100 filters on your respirator when working with asbestos. One more thing, you might want to get one more drywall sample tested. You took a sample from the middle of the wall, but we typically sample around corners and seams because that is where you’ll get the paper and mud included in the sample, and that can often be where the asbestos is found. Good luck with the house!
Super helpful!
thank you for writing up everything so well that I wanted to add! Hope he sees this comment and re-does the testing and follows the safety guidelines. I also want to say- that if its medium or high risk- its not worth your health to do yourself. hire someone to remove the material and dispose of it properly. I worked in restoration for years and asbestos abatement and removal is very very specific and needs to be in order to protect you and future people who may come into contact with that material. my province has specific area for asbestos waste to go.
Careful with the drywall a lot of times athe drywall itself was negative for asbestos but the mud they used had asbestos mixed in, so unless you took a sample of the joint it may be a false negative.
This is what my house had. The mud had 2% asbestos in it.
I highly suggest taking samples of the drywall plaster. The asbestos was often mixed in with the plaster manually. Hazardous waste testing companions often will take 3 samples of plaster from different locations because some may have it and some may not. Inside corners of rooms are usually the easiest way to get a sample.
33 years ago my Grandpa was diagnosed with lung cancer due to asbestos, it took 8 weeks from being diagnosed to his death. My grandpa worked with asbestos when he was younger and it caught up with him and he died a horrible death
Asbestos is a massive thing over here in the UK. There are a lot of people in the older generation who worked with asbestos (including my Dad) who had no idea of the danger. I've seen first hand someone who's no longer with us that was using a machine to help him breathe. It eats away at you and over time, the simple tasks such as getting in and out of a bath tub become more difficult. It's a really horrible thing and it's so important to make sure you don't come into contact with it. Nice video bro.
I’m in the same situation. My grandad worked on boats, ships and subs in Plymouth docks. He passed away 8yrs ago. Basically due to lung cancer which took over the whole body due to asbestos.
Can’t believe how mad it is in this country that we used “this holy material” kinda scary really.
British asbestos video, 1970-something: Removal teams wearing full hazmat suits and using supplied air.
Asbestos testing kit, 2023: Here's a flimsy surgical mask and some food service grade plastic gloves.
cellulose insulation is basically ground up paper, like newspaper. Also, when breaking up anything with a small amount of asbestos in it that you are able to handle yourself, wet it down to keep dust from coming up.
Maury, “you are not the father” 😂.
Should have that Asbestos professionally remediated, the disposal is also important to get correct as the asbestos shouldn't go into a landfill. In MA you have to hire a air quality person to test the air after remediation. When they remediate, they create a negate air space with hepa filter air purifiers and dispose of the material in marked bags.
I work at a Southern California landfill, and if you get caught dumping asbestos-containing material, it will cost $5,000 to $7,000 or more to clean up.
Yeah California and Mass are super liberal and the two most overbearing states when it comes to building code and law enforcement. That said you should properly evacuate the stuff you don’t wanna mess with it
Check the paper looking backing on your vinyl floor. The asbestos is in there not the linoleum ands it’s like 80%. Look for Armstrong stamps in the floor backing. Double check that joint compound too.
Get a pump sprayer with water, wet down the tiles as you’re pulling them up to prevent or minimize the dust.
I’ve been in so much asbestos over the years. When I was in my teens and early 20s I used to remodel a lot of homes and some commercial buildings. The pipes in those old factories and stuff were always wrapped in it. I’m hoping in the coming years that I’m lucky, because I for sure wasn’t safe.
I'm a veteran, served in the Army, so I know for sure I was exposed to it in many settings. When I worked in demolition just after the service, I know for a fact we were "living" in asbestos before testing and remediation became a thing. Like you @westvirginianminer3046, I hope I don't "hit the lotto" on that one. Take care amigo! 👊
This was an interesting video actually, cause I’ve been told ghost stories about asbestos since I was a kid but never knew what it actually was and why it was so bad.
Have you heard of silica dust from manufactured stone countertops? Essentially history repeating itself, instead of asbestos, silica dust is killing the people who cut it to fit in kitchens.
You should excavate that basement and do a remodel. That would be a great couple videos!
Funny how in the British video clips they were suited up head to toe while elderly and children were allowed to still be in the neighboring area, where I’m sure dust could still go and contaminate the area.
What will become of this house when its finished? Just a giant Mancave attached to the shop? Rental? I was looking around the older videos but I don't think you explained.
THANK YOU for including all of the additional information about the danger of Asbestos.
We ran into the water issue very recently too. Clean slate of land, 800ft out of city limits, paid $400 to have a tap put in right inside city limits and trenched to run 800 ft of piping. Costs $1200 versus having someone else do it
Have you thought about leveling the entire house and starting over?
Yes I seriously would NOT do all this mess considering I know exactly what it’s like to have had life altering issues with all types of dangerous dust…hurricane came through and flooded the inherited house built in Florida in early 80s and 2/3 yrs after hurricane 👀 ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. Don’t DO IT!!! Not worth it when someone is hypersensitive or allergic and no one else is…that’s an inadvertent TRAP. Imagine a child. Psych wards are too easy for ppl to access and people do not deserve that. Demonic. For anyone who sees this, don’t jump to psychiatrist jump to Jesus Christ, rather. God bless
@@janiceblackburn5878Can you explain how you went from talking about "dangerous dust" to psych wards and Jesus Christ.....genuine question. 🤔
I’m on a Asbestos tile in my room and the black mastic under it too but it’s not dangerous unless you try to pull up the tiles or grind off the mastic.
May want to consider sending several drywall samples in. Just incase there were patch jobs or previous diy's. May have sent an original sample from a much newer board
Husband and I moved into base housing at an air force base in Florida. Had to sign an asbestos waver and told not to drill into the walls. That was in 2016.
I am sorry to hear you have been treated in the way you have been! That's really terrible
Lisa UK xx
Have a mister spraying in the area when lifting the tiles to keep dust down bud
63yo house super - old lol, I live in the UK , try 157yo terrace house, we don't have a straight line in it, we do have a Coal cellar , for when they had to burn Coal to heat the house lol . Also, my dad worked at one of the main factories that made Asbestos products in the UK we still live in the town , the land that Turner Brothers factory stood on , is a biohazard, the factory closed at the end of the 90s early 2000s most of my dads friends have died most with cancer in their late 50s early 60s . My dad is lucky he's still going strong at 84yo .
Man. This is some spiderweb of problems after problems. Lets hope you can get this all situated.
Now I want to watch that whole documentary
Just wanted to comment and say this is probably one of your best videos
Drywall might be safe, but if you hit cement sheeting (popular in your wet areas or high heat areas) then it will more than likely contain asbestos. Same for any fibro sheeting used as external cladding.
check the wet area drywall, not know about the US but in other places the wet area or external (waterproof / weatherproof) board is where the asbestos tends to be.
Great video! Very educational and great information. I liked the change of video too. I do have to mention that there's specific remediation companies that do this work because it's so dangerous. Certifications are included to know what to test and look for. It doesnt appear thorough testing was done and just like other people said, any trace amount of asbestos is dangerous. Because the house is so old, there's also other contaminants to look for like lead paint. I'm sure you know all of this but I just felt like I had to say something. Be safe!
P.S. I work as a commercial contractor and this is the first thing we check before we demo anything.
Is that the Mr Cool cassette style mini split??!!! I've been waiting for someone to actually get a decent video up on this, I can't wait for that video!!!!!!!
Great info. I'm glad you only have that small section to worry about.
Make sure to wear a good respirator. A P100 one would be the best. I've removed asbestos cement board and it wasn't fun.
We had a community well where I grew up. Paid $50 a month for water (I think it was more like $20 when we moved in). Very convenient filling a 12,000 gallon swimming pool for $50 while my friends were paying a $1000 water bill for theirs 😅 but yeah, the whole neighborhood was piped into one well. Something like 50 houses or something were serviced by it.
Also, I hadn't considered the fact that my mobile home was built in 1974 when we started talking about renovations. Time to get some tests done...
you should def do multiple samples of each. what's to tell you that that particular drywall board wasn't replaced 30 years after the resT?
When you pull up the carpet and probably the linoleum it will probably have the CVT under it.
Also if you keep the area wet it'll help keep fibres down
Very informative! Good to know! ✊🏾
If there is asbestos in your flooring, you should treat it as if your whole house has asbestos.
This seems a little much. I think at most talk to a remediation person and see if they think anything else should be tested
"60 years old.... super old" me laughing out loud in my 100year old house that's considered modern in Britain my parents house is older than your country 😂
Such top notch content, education is key. Keep up the great work.
How are you gonna hype up how dangerous asbestos is and than say “I’ll take a gamble” on all the other stuff 💀
Huge thumbs up for this video. Great work.
"If you're used to me building stuff" (checks name of channel).
I have asbestos insulation (
A house that old and looking at the carpet, my guess that tile runs the entire house under the carpet. Might want to check if you haven't.
Not sure if it's already been mentioned here, but should you have checked the drywall in the wet areas (bathroom etc) as asbestos was used a lot in wet area's instead of the fibro that is used today. Also external eve's are common for asbestos sheeting too. Either way, enjoying the series, keep up the good work and can't wait to see the rest of the action.
Thank you for the info, I really enjoyed this video
The issue I'd be concerned about is whether those sections you sampled in the kitchen area were remodeled at some point in the last 30 years or so. If so, then a negative result makes sense. I'd sample other areas of the house. Given the newer furnace in the basement, that insulation could have been added at the same time, covering up other dangerous materials, you may expose gutting parts of the house.
Plus, if you are going to sell the house, professional testing and remediation would likely attract more buyers.
@@mattbrown1463and depending on the area, may be required.
I was hoping to see the basement get finished lol.
It sounds like the cellulose was a replacement product for asbestos. Safer for you & the Environment. Yay!!
less dangerous, but make sure you use water and good respirators, not that flimsy mask they sent. also, avoid breaking it as much as possible.
This was very informative thank you
Wet it down well as you remove things which stops any particles from becoming airborne
Wedding it down. Won’t completely keep the pores from going airborne. The solution that the professional use has a soapy mix in it. So yes, I agree with you. Wetting it down is a good idea but add soap to your mix. Also, don’t brag about what you’re doing. if your city finds out. You won’t be happy with the fine that they dish out because you didn’t take proper precautions and procedures. Lol.
Wish your videos were longer and uploaded more frequently...... But hey beggars can't be choosers right? Great Videos
Lol, I was born in 1963 so I’m “super old.” What does that make my house built in 1890? “Doubly super old?”
I hope your viewers re-search and check other items that people use every day. Items that are currently being made as of 2023. That has asbestos in it. Like brake pads for your vehicle.
Asbestos is as dangerous as they say it is. But I still say the number one cause of cancer is your past family. Cancer is hereditary. If you have a history of it in your family. You are more likely to develop it from things, like asbestos, smoking, and other things.
This is a great video, and I fully agree with getting things checked out. If you do have a lot of asbestos in your house. If you are renovating it. Do everything you can to keep safe. Also, check your city code. Most likely you may be required to remediate it in a specific way.
I just wanted to make a point that asbestos is still currently being used in quite a bit of stuff that we come in contact with every day.
Thank you for info about asbestos.
If you suspect asbestos leave getting rid of it to pros
Honestly, it's not hard to handle yourself. Proper PPE, wet down, and double bag.
Best CZcamsr in the game
popcorn texture is another big one.
Radioactive waste that can be mailed. I love it.
Wow great content and spreading awareness
Great Public service video - maybe spray down the Tiles before moving.
ok now that's dealt with, just possible bio hazard in that awful carpet
please check the boards above your head at 8:49 for asbestos, might be asbestos insulation board
Damn waited 2 weeks for videos of abestos at least we'll be getting good content from here on out
love ur vids btw
cellulose is basically tree stuff. paper, wood etc..
I hate to be the downer on this one but you didn't take enough samples. You need to test the drywall in every room and you need to test the joint compound. You need to test the adhesive for the vinyl flooring, and If you pipes are wrapped you need to test the wrap and the insulation. I worked in this for many years in Canada and anything over 1% is bad.
as a german its so funny when americans talk about "old houses"...
Asbestos could be also in the floor / carpet.
Interesting vid
Keep damp it won’t dust up.
identity theft is not a joke jim
It’s hilarious that Americans think a 60 year old house is OLD 😂😂
Called it in one of your video, glad you wore a mask!
Can't you just set up a new agreement with the neighbor for the well like the owner had?
the eagle on your blue cap looks a little sus 😅
How much did you purchase this house for?
What the hell is all that dirt piled up? I’ve never seen that in a basement. Is there no concrete floor?
Good stuff mate. Dangerous stuff for sure. I guess its best practice to just treat it all as asbestos just to be safer. For the tiles id recon to get the sperm suit lol ( disposable suits) and wet it all down. Keen to see the next one
My grandmother died of asbestosis in 1996. She used to walk past an asbestos plant on her way to and from school each day. Looks like you’ve been given some good advice for dealing with those floor tiles safely here in the comments. Be careful!
I bet that back in the day, all this was simply called conspiracy right ;)
👍
Ya
If the front water access you say you need a meter for belongs to some water system, they should be happy to add a meter so they can sell you water, and that is probably going to be better than a well.
Get pros to remove the asbestos please, if not for you, for your kids.
Bro what’s up with the emotional music? lol
By far the best but underrated chennel on CZcams. Well done.
1963 "a very long time ago".....some of your subs are of that "age"......😊
Radioactive symbol ain’t the right one in this situation. Use the carcinogen symbol.
Im not going in that house. No thanks.
damn first
Man, these vp adds are hard to take… i know you gotta get paid but geez…
Why is there background music playing throughout the video? So distracting!
You mask doesn't to jack. Got to get a real mask.
Fell asleep during that, glad I didn't miss anything.
WOW super dangerous 2% azbestos house 😂😂😂
I do not understand why so much drama, i know that clickbites make videos more popular but half of the video isn’t even yours…
this house is a lemon
Enjoying the videos. One question; maybe i’ve missed it, but why are you moving to this house?
