Example of asbestos-containing construction adhesive, in this instance shown as exposed black-colored glue compound applied to lumber wall framing after removing wallboard panels during renovation activities.
The residual, brittle ACM adhesive was used to assist securing wall panels during construction and now presents potential asbestos exposure issues during renovation work; also consider that some of the ACM adhesive remained on the improperly handled and disposed wallboard materials.
Also seen in this image is an asbestos-containing friable fire-stop compound applied at pipe penetration area along the wall framing bottom sill plate.
A simple view of a partially demolished ceiling system during a building renovation, demonstrating how various utility systems with possible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) may be concealed above ceilings, and also revealing other suspect ACMs, now exposed. Oftentimes not considered during planned renovation or demolition activities, occasionally damaged ACMs are sometimes found laying on top of suspended ceiling systems and could pose exposure hazards to unsuspecting construction personnel.
How many different types of suspect asbestos-containing building materials can you find in this image?
Uncommon application of highly fibrous, soft, asbestos sealant material; apparently utilized as a patching compound at wooden door-frame trim.
“Installed” an automatic fire system over my father in laws stove. These are one use set off by heat. Potassium Bicarbonate is my recollection. They are designed to put out a stove fire and recommended for people who might wander away from the kitchen forgetting they are cooking.

An often missed ACM during an asbestos inspection, this firestop compound is shown applied around electrical wiring penetration through lumber structural component INSIDE a residential wall cavity. Appearing as an off-white to lt. grey crumbly material and may be easily disturbed/damaged during renovation or demolition activities.
The inspector wanted a firestop on this chase for the furnace and water heater flue so I added some sheet metal at the top and bottom of the chase.
