Asbestos....have you ever dealt with it?

[Kyleigh Morgan]

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone out there has ever had to deal with asbestos during their renovation? If so, what did you do about it, and how much did it end up costing you? I want to remove a wall in our house but during the inspection it was found that there was a little bit of asbestos fibers in the wall...it’s about a 10’x8’ wall. I didn’t have every wall tested because that would have been expensive but now I’m wondering if it is in every wall? And if so, does that mean I can’t even remove the texture off the walls? All the walls have a weird texture I would like to smooth out but wasn’t sure if one could just do that if they weren’t sure. The house was built in 1950. Any advice? What would you do? Or what have you done in the past? Thank you in advance!!!!
