Patching Holes In Asbestos Siding

Looks like they got hit with a baseball or something.

Patching holes in asbestos siding.

Thats the worst case. You of course need straight. The decision to repair and replace any siding that contains asbestos always carries a certain amount of risk with care required to not disturb and make friable any asbestos fibers. You need a snap cutter.

Asbestos fibers can also settle on your clothing if you do break and disturb the material leading to the possible contamination of your home and anyone living. Some are missing or broken but it s all good as we bought cement fiberboard replicas and we ll take precautions during the removal of the bad shingles tiles whatever you call them. They come straight waby and staggered. Best material to patch drill holes in asbestos siding.

A typical procedure is to install furring strips on the existing wall avoiding breaking the existing siding. I use nail pullers to try and grab the head of the nail and wiggle them out. A common remodeling practice is to install new vinyl or aluminum siding over cement asbestos shingle siding as well as over many other older siding materials when the old siding has become damaged leaky or cosmetically ugly. Work slowly and with care damaged areas grow easy.

Hello bought an old home with asbestos siding. There are a couple of those old asbestos siding shingles on the back of our house that have craters gouged out of them. The house was built in the 1920s but i have no idea how old the siding is. I know that this stuff is supposed to be safe as long as it s not crumbling but at some point i might want to make holes in it to add a kitchen or bathroom vent or maybe even add a window.
