Mike Lamb Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The outside material of this Transite lined chimney is most certainly an asbestos product as well. It has some deterioration at one of the corners. Would you recommend replacement or a coat of paint? Click to Enlarge 64.49 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'd go through the drill of telling them about asbestos, have a licensed etc., etc., because we're tools in the box of tricks. Personally, I'd paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'd paint it too but I don't think I'll take that approach in my report. I wish it wasn't flaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 What I might do on my own home is not necessarily what I'd put in my report. The material is frayed and therefore replacement is the option I'd be guiding the client towards. It's easy to want to be a nice guy but we are paid tell it as it is. Tossing a pinch of empathy can make it easier to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Too much litigation with asbestos these days. Punt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
