I don't know the age of the home. I'm a renter and the landlord does not come around often. The only clue I have is from the service tags in the basement which are dated early 70s. I know no one can definitively tell if it's asbestos or not from a photo, I was just looking for either a, "no, that's not what asbestos looks like", or, "yes, that could be asbestos". Any info is better than none. Thanks!My guess, waving my magic wand over the photos?
Take samples and get them tested if you are concerned. Nobody should offer suggestions to you based on photos.
You did not provide the age of your home. How could you clear title without knowing when it was built? The title documents should have the date the house was built. I promise. Did whoever closed on your behalf, real estate or agent, spot anything in the documentation that triggered an asbestos flag?
To ease your concerns, asbestos was a great insulator and if just wrapped around pipes and will not go airborne unless the pipes shake. Quietly seal the ends and just leave it alone.
I have no idea what you were trying to portray with the copper pipe photo and the stuff above it. Looks like years of dust to me.
It is dusty, because I'm afraid to touch it. But the white stuff you can see in the photo is actually coming from the pipe. It's white and green. I didn't know if that could be remnants of asbestos that was improperly removed?I don't know the age of the home. I'm a renter and the landlord does not come around often.
