These materials were also found on pipework in the rest of the <br /> basement area and on the 4th and 5th floor of the building and likely elsewhere in the <br /> building. The total quantity of these materials is unknown but they are extensive. <br /> A tar paper product was in place in the door openings to the 4th and 5th floor bathroom <br /> units. This appeared to be a vapor barrier. It was visible on the 5th floor but should be <br /> assumed to be in place on the identical appearing 4th floor bathroom. <br /> Some joint compound samples from the 4th and 5th floor were found to contain asbestos. <br /> This material was only found on this floor and appeared to be the result of later repair <br /> work. This material was composited with the underlying drywall in order to arrive at an <br /> asbestos content of less than one percent. <br /> One sample of texture and one sample of plaster were found to contain asbestos. These <br /> samples were point counted at client request and found to contain less than one percent <br /> asbestos by this analytical method. <br /> Most roofing samples were asbestos free. However an asbestos containing tar paper <br /> product was in place on the roof sampled from behind the gutters at the rear of the 5th floor <br /> dormitories. This material was not found elsewhere on the roof. An asphaltic sealant on a <br /> ventilation duct in the same area contained asbestos. This material was not seen <br /> elsewhere on the roof. <br /> All other materials sampled were asbestos free. Materials in use were relatively simple <br /> and consistent throughout the space. The home lacked many suspect building materials <br /> that would be encountered in a traditionally constructed residence. <br /> Any identified asbestos containing material must be abated before demolition can <br /> continue. A Certified Asbestos Abatement Contractor must carry out abatement. <br /> Different materials require different abatement processes depending on the friability, type <br /> of asbestos, and amount of asbestos present. It is important that materials are treated by a <br /> Certified Asbestos Abatement Contractor. <br /> 18 <br />
