Removing Asbestos Cement Stack for Furnace and Hot water Heater

[Alexander Flores]

Currently getting ready to sell my primary residence and the furnace and hot water heater need replaced.

The guy doing the job won't touch the pipe that takes the exhaust from the basement out the attic since it is an asbestos wrapped cement pipe.

Anyone have any expertise with these? I am in Ocean County NJ but most information I can find online deals with the UK.

Anyone know of any companies in my area that do removals and or costs associated?

I know I can do the work myself, so anyone have any experience in that method?

Thanks!
