Marysville Asbestos Removal takes cement asbestos-board siding and asbestos roofing off Marysville, WA homes, garages and outbuildings before re-siding, re-roofing or demolition. The shingles are hard and stable while they hang on the wall, but snapping, drilling or power-washing them releases fibers. We wet each course, pull the nails rather than break the boards, and lower them whole.
Under PSCAA’s regulation, cement asbestos products count as friable, which changes the notice and disposal steps compared with the intact roofing PSCAA lists as nonfriable. We remove asbestos siding and roofing in Marysville, Washington and surrounding communities, including Lake Stevens and Arlington.
These are the flat, rigid, slightly textured shingles that can pass for stone or painted wood from the street. PSCAA publishes a homeowner guide for removing them from owner-occupied houses and requires the surface to be kept wet throughout. Removing 48 square feet or more means a notice first.
PSCAA’s homeowner guidance lists asbestos roofing among nonfriable materials, so intact removal needs no notice, just prompt bagging and a “nonfriable asbestos waste” sign on the container. Regulation III leaves asphalt shingles off its list of suspect materials, while cement asbestos roof shingles count as cement asbestos products and follow the friable rules, like siding.
Re-siding jobs sometimes went straight over the original shingles. Opening a wall for a window or a new door can reveal that hidden layer, so a sample from behind the vinyl saves a mid-project stop.
Sound cement siding can be painted or covered and left alone, which costs less now. The trade-off is that the material remains, may need to be disclosed when you sell, and still has to be dealt with if the wall is ever opened or the house demolished.
PSCAA requires notice before removing 48 square feet or more of friable material per structure per year, and cement siding falls in that group. Intact nonfriable roofing does not need a notice unless it is sanded, ground or sawn, which turns it into friable material. Contractors also notify L&I above 48 square feet.
Demolishing a garage or shed with more than 120 square feet of roof needs an AHERA survey and a demolition notice whatever the siding is made of, followed by a 10-day wait.
Exterior work sometimes uncovers more; testing and remodel abatement covers the survey side, and Marysville Asbestos Removal lists every service.
