Q-I afresh bought a home sided with asbestos shingles. A few of the shingles are cracked, and one is missing. How do I maintain, adjustment and alter asbestos shingles? Are any appropriate assurance measures required?

Do-it-yourselfers should abstain drilling, sawing or breaking up asbestos-cement shingles unless assurance precautions are taken, such as cutting a respirator affectation to assure adjoin breath particles. For this reason, I advance that a few absurd shingles be larboard in place. Cracks can generally be fabricated about airy by sealing them with a high-quality, acrylic-latex caulk, again affecting up the barricade with acrylic that matches the bank color.
A missing bank or two is an accessible repair. The backup shingles accept predrilled nailing holes beyond the bottom. Slip the undrilled bend of the new bank up beneath the edges of the shingles aloft the gap and drive nails through the predrilled holes so the nails aloof absence the top edges of the shingles beneath the gap. Use appropriate balustrade nails or aluminum nails to abstain acerbic of the apparent heads, and blow up the nailheads with analogous acrylic if necessary.

The album is accessible by calling the commission`s hotline, 800-638-2772.
When above aliment are bare to asbestos shingles, it is best to accept the assignment done by a architect accustomed with asbestos assurance procedures and regulations.
