Asbestos lining in HVAC Ducts in slab floor
I am am looking at a 3/2 single family in Western Suburbs of Chicago as a buy and hold. The house is on a slab with the HVAC ducts buried in the concrete floor. We had a sample taken of the duct liner and it shows to contain 15% asbestos. I know now that it has been tested, it will have to be declared.
I see 3 options
- bust up floor and remove it,
- Seal it with Concrete and rerun the ducts over head
- have it rubber coated, like Ductarmor.
Has anyone dealt with this yet? Any Asbestos companies in the Chicago land area that are recommended?
thanks
Dave
