I am reading many comments that he did it wrong. It would be helpful then, if one of you make a video on how to do it the right way. I have some broken shingles to replace and would like to replace them correctly. Right now Mr. Helper Guy is the only person who has a video on replacement, and I thank him for it. And, I thank the rest of you for your comments, at least the constructive comments.

Eh it's not that he's doing it wrong. But there's ways to do it safer such as wetting all the tiles down with water. N wearing proper PPE such as the right mask n a suit. Most the time the biggest concern is getting the asbestos fibers in your lungs eyes etc. Other than that he's not doing anything wrong lol
Your the only one who mentioned the slate ripper for the hidden nails thanks very much
Thanks for showing me how to replace damaged asbestos siding. Much appreciated.
I really like the idea of using a slate ripper to get at those hidden nails. Thanks!
am i the only one who loves this type of siding? i think the wavy looks great and it basically lasts forever unless hit pretty hard by something.
Shouldn’t you be wearing the right protective gear when removing?!!! The fibers are small and can be easily inhaled.
Yeah man... You won't be makin many video tutorials in the future if you keep removing asbestos like this. You should be showing people how to do it safely!
I do this for worm and have heard plenty of horror stories about people doing this wrong. Suit, mask and dispose of all the waste appropriately. Don't screw around with this stuff!
For those of you attacking this kind man showing you how to remove a broken shingle. Here is what is said online:
Asbestos siding is far less dangerous due to the fact that it is painted, and installed outside. Very few fibers are released, even when siding shingles crack and break. Care and proper procedures should always be taken during removal and disposal, but in general, asbestos siding ranks very low on the list of materials that contain asbestos as far as danger and health risks.
BS
Exactly what they put in our food is far worse
I pulled off every shingle on my garage with only a paper mask. I probably should have at least wore a better mask but I had to get shit done. I highly doubt a single run in would cause issues or this would be a world wide pandemic. I'll let you know in 30 years if it effected me lol.
yep, thousands of people worked in manufacturing facilities, thousands of people installed this stuff cutting it with no mask, unlikely this is going to kill you or him but why take chances? A tyveck suit cost $12, a respirator cost $40, and at least wear gloves.
Hey just wanted to know how are you feeling 2yrs later
@@mikemerc74 fine lol

I did it the same way this guy did and now I’m dead so thanks for killing me 😂
Got a good question. What is the name of that prybar you're using to hook the nails and pry the next panel away from the house?
It's called a prybar
Cats paw
My contractor just removed these shingles from my home. Some even cracked in my driveway. It did rain most of these days. The contractor said not to be concerned as the amount of asbestos was not dangerous. He said you need to go at it and make dust from it to be considered dangerous. I have a 2 year old and my yard is full of little pieces. What do I do? Just pick it up call it and call it a day?
Hose them down get them soaking wet. Pick them up with 2 fingers and drop them in a plastic bag.
Don't mow the lawn, pick up what you can while coving your face, and wearing plastic gloves. Put it in a zip lock bag, and then inside another. Have a soil tester come to your home.
Hey great video. looks like you have mastered this. Can I hire you to take the same siding off my house?
+adam scott no I don't work for anybody
Just curious, I have never needed to remove anything but the three bottom nails using a tiny little prying tool of the screwdriver handle type and a small inclined wooden wedge for the pry to rest on. The vice grip helps sometimes as well. It would be great if there was a slide hammer with a vice grip to pull the pesky nails.
I almost never break a tile and am careful because of the asbestos with a mask.

I actually work in abatement and do this for a living. The point here is that asbestosis has a 30 year life span. If he breathes in fibers while removing that siding they may not effect his lungs for 30 years. However in 30 years he will wonder why he has mesothelioma or asbestosis. And for those of you saying at least wear a mask, well that's funny too because just ya paper mask alone will not prevent all the fibers from getting to his lungs. He needs a half mask that is approved by niosh and filters approved by niosh to properly protect himself. Good luck pal.
thanks thats the info i was looking for
Me too bud these guys don't know what they are teaching the masses before you touch asbestos do your homework man the cringe I get arching him create dust when th the hammer and prying
I think at his age he will be dead in 30 years or close to it regardless of the asbestos fibers.
yeah, this is not smart. Zero precaution taken. Which I know thousands of people have been exposed who had no side effects. I see this stuff on so many houses and you know the old timers cut it and never even wore a mask. I wonder what percentage of them developed issues.
friable vs non friable. its a huge difference. with that said, mask, sure better safe than dead in 30 some odd years. but seriously, this is non friable, meaning it doesnt readily become airborne, now the stuff that hangs on old pipes and duct work that looks like it will fall apart if you breath on it. put your ppe on. Thank you for this video, I am going to be grabbing that slate ripper tool.
What is that flat tool you are using around 4:45 in the video and where did you get it? I could use one and would like to avoid fabricating it.
Paul Kidd slate ripper look on amazon
+themrhelperguy thanks. I've been looking everyplace for it for .5 year since I first saw the video
Finally.found one...thanks
I'm watching this thinking, "This guy has no clue how to remove asbestos shingles." 1 shingle in 7 minutes makes this a 3-year project.
Thank u mr helper guy, great vid. Can I also grind up the tile and sniff it for a little pick-me-up?
No
ok thanks. So i could install starting from the top or bottom of the wall ?
Start from the bottom with a nice level line
Hey , I seen how to replace or remove Asbestos Shingles but what about Install Asbestos Shingle ? I got a project and need some tips from you . Any ideas ? I'm having a problem of drilling a hole for those extra pieces .
You can drill a hole in a new nonasbestos shingle with a masonry drill bit.
You're missing gloves, soapy water, & a contractor bag to bag it. And disposable poly under your work area.
Good men
What was the dark material under it? I have to remove all the asbestos siding from my house to prep for a siding contractor to do his work. I want to know what I should expect to find under there... My siding looks exactly like on that house.
scud830 it's is a tar paper material
Thank you good sir
The white stuff in the dark stuff is mold from moisture, either thru the shingles or bounced up from below

Where did you get that long flat tool?

Nice mask buddy
It's dangerous handling the crumbling pieces, contamination hazard through the washing machine, in the wind. Stuff won't melt if the neighbors catch fire though.
I am not being a hater here. I respect all that put themselves out there to try to help others. There is some very useful information here, for sure. But, not wearing a mask and asbestos suit here is a mistake.
I just want to know where she's n95 mask? I got 10 hours of OSHA and I know if you crack one of those it's going to send spores in the air that you're going to breathe in. Nice job. But I think you're ignoring your health
Thanks Dude !
Question
If I wanted to paint my asbestos siding do I have to use primer first or can it just be painted without it.
I would not primer this. Just paint over.
mad. Simply MAD!
No protection??? why don´t he have mask, gloves and spray water ?
Even pulling those nails out releases fibres this guy is mad
Carl Tomkins no I'm calm
Where's your protection Dude? Why would you make an instructional video without emphasizing this??!!
I could not see the bottom of the screen where the nails were removed. Camera was to high
Why not pull the nails after you break the tile off. It's much easier when that pesky tile is out of the way.
If you need to replace them don't. Get rid of all of them. Wear a correct asbestos rated mask and environmental suit. Put in a box and place box in a thick plastic bag and seal with duct tape. Find a land fill that will take them. When removing them from the house, have somebody continually spray water over the entire area to include the eaves, wall and ground surrounding the work area. Immediately place all pieces in a cardboard box. Around 30 pounds per box.
Marlboro’s are way more dangerous.
Fuck that. I smoke asbestos Marlboros and I'm 69 years old.
You broke the tile releasing millions of asbestos spores right in front of you. This is wrong.
Asbestos doesn’t have spores. It’s not a fungus, it’s a fiber.
@@kaseyod113
I still would not want to breathe in all of those microscopic fibers.
I would definitely wear a painter's respirator.
@@angellisa2614 most definitely
Agree. But realistically, does anyone commenting here know how friable the asbestos is in this type of siding? And what the exposure maximum limits are? I'd say if you're replacing a few pieces and you're already middle aged, your chances of dying from mesothelioma are pretty slim
Tiles are installed bottom to top. It is easier to remove them from top to bottom. Also tiles should not be broken and respiratory protection should be worn while removing the tiles.
I'm not here to criticize. But I am concerned of the lack of respirator, gloves. I mean, dont't people were a full protective suit when handling this stuff? Asbestos lodges in the lungs and never leaves. And I think you are supposed to have a special bin for the asbestos to dispose of.
I am NOT an expert but I have asked around and knowledgeable people have told me to leave it to the experts.
That said, I don't want to pay some "experts" to pull of my asbestos siding and charge me $500 or more.
I'm not criticizing the man's technique but I would like to hear more about safety.
Coke in the past or other problems with nose? Thx it was helpfull video. And btw people there are different kinds of it so dont freek out i know you saw the commercials were they talk about it as super bad. Well there are different kinds :).....
tyler rhine no coke besides coke a cola. I got knocked down once by the c and I'm up and strong.
Oh wow sorry man remove my comment if u want. no hard feelings :)
no, thats not exactly how you should remove asbestos siding...
How exactly should you remove it?
You're not using the right tool to pry the last nail out.
Anthony Pace what is the right tool?
@@johnm1901 an angle grinder
Ps just kidding
Dude. Where is your face filter.
Where are your masks and gloves???
he is showing you EXACTLY how NOT to remove asbestos siding!
OK Jay, what you got? Show us your video!
i think it's so unfair that people are left to deal with the removal of this hazardous shit! Is it MY fault that no one knew how toxic it was ???
the problem is THEY DID KNOW...YES...THEY DID....IT WASNT SUDDENLY DISCOVERED...just big money was suddenly being made by a BIG company who knew how to lobby.
Hmmm interesting
Very
He’s already made the biggest mistake when removing siding with asbestos and that’s wearing a respirator. Funny thing is it sounds like he’s talking through one.
This guy might sound like he inhaled too much asbestos, but he is spot on with this removal. The slate tool is key as he says. Well done lad.
Why remove the best shingles ever? You can clean them up and paint them! These things last forever
Only remove to replace them. Paint seems to stick to them for a long time also.
If you need to install new windows these shingles are in the way
Dude, put a mask on at least!
Al Siao ok
I meant I do this for work... Not worm...
Pen Productions I thought worm was a great and powerful
This has got to be the worst instructional video. NEVER break asbestos panels, aka, transite, as you will release fibers. Please use this video as a how not to do something.
What nonsense! You can hardly hear the bloke. Why do people do this? For pity's sake.
What are you doing? No mask! Are you crazy?
Ajaaaa si pero se ponen mascara para quitar advestoy se la quitan para smoke su marlboro jejejejej... Idiots
Jose Rivas ariba
Mask?!
sorry, this is painful (not funny) to watch.... Sure, I too appreciate the thoughts/tips on how to pull off old ASBESTOS siding, and I'll be using them when taking on my old collapsing shed. BUT shocked you don't mention the dangers. (Are you not fully cognitive of such issues?) When I take on this task (on my own home) I won't be risking my life (literally), as you did. I'll have on the full body tyvek suit, plus high-end 3m mask, goggles, new filters, the works. (all available these days very cheap via amazon). I do hope Mr. helperguy that you're still well, but even while helping us, you've recklessly endangered your own life, and all those yahoos here who think this is cool. (er, sticking it to the "liberals") Surprised yahoo even lets this stay up, as is.
No way!!! That’s is very dangerous!!!!
PPE, OSHA
this is federal facility
I really hope this is a prank, dude.....
Phil Kasafir what kind of prank
It's not my place to criticise your methods but it looks to me like you're removing Asbestos materials with no form of protection whatsoever. I'm no professional but I've seen that stuff kill 2 family members and it is something you should be extremely afraid of, especially when you're doing this. That stuff needs removing professionally and sealed in a foot thick bag then dumped somewhere it will never escape into the atmosphere. Please excuse me if I sound arrogant mate, but Asbestos scares the shit out of me and I care about people...
Please do not watch this video and perform this act. If your asbestos siding cracks, please call some one with a license and proper equipment to do this.
Nature at its finest...Darwin's theory at work.

What wrong with your voice dude
Boostngo let's just say I had a rough run of it
Sounds like my uncle he had a stroke couple years back
Boostngo Asbestos did that to his voice!! Lol
Boostngo must be caused by Asbestos inhalation ;-)
