I am working on a sale of a property in town that has some asbestos on the heating pipes and on the wall behind the wood stove. Since the buyer wants it removed, I have been researching asbestos removal. The first thing I have found is unless the removal is a major job most of the licensed removal contractors don’t want to talk to you. I got a list of licensed contractors from the New Hampshire web site. I called 32 of them. I had 3 call me back. That wasn’t very encouraging! I have met with 2 of them and they are getting me quotes. I have also learned that asbestos follows the owner forever! So if somewhere down the road 20 years from now the asbestos removed now had to be dug up and moved to some other landfill it would still be the responsibility of the owner who is having it removed now. As this process moves along, I will write on how it goes. I think it will be interesting.
