Asbestos abatement near Lebanon, Lancaster, Reading PA
Anyone have a recommendation for a licensed asbestos-removal contractor in the Lebanon, Lancaster, Reading PA area?
I've got some asbestos pipe lagging in a (tenant-inaccessible) basement. However, it's become a problem in the way of finishing a bathroom remodel. The workers ran into a wrapped pipe when they opened up the floor and want it abated before continuing.
They got me a quote of $16k to remove all the lagging in the basement, maybe a hundred feet or two... which seems high for what should be a relatively straightforward job. I thought this would be more in the small thousands range. Should I adjust my expectations? Any points of comparison here? I wonder if this abatement firm might be focused on commercial and not small-time residential like me.
