Asbestos Under Flooring
How likely am i to get sick from asbestos?
I’m helping my friend dig a huge hole under her porch in a small space where they kept logs in for many years. The house is pretty old. I’m guessing at least 50 years old and my friend and i spend 3 hours there when we work. We’re most likely going to work 2 days a week. Is there a chance that their might be asbestos in that space? How can we check, what can we do to get rid of it, and is it safe to live in that underground room we’re planning to build when we finish digging the hole?
the space is mostly a storage area under the porch. it’s an enclosed space. the top and sides are concrete with wood covered over them and it held logs for a really long time. the floor is just dirt and we’re planning to dig through that 15 feet and then we’re tunneling over about 20 feet and building a room.
0 chance. Asbestos is in very old ceiling and floor tiles, use for house siding, to cover water pipes which is rapped in paper then asbestos, just dont break the paper , but theres not much of that left around either. So no worries my friend.
poor carpet (don’t tell Scott)

I think that I agree with the first writer. What ever cancer you are dealing with is the worst. My father, mother, husband, sister, me and quite a few people have had cancer. I think it is awful which ever it is.
