I'm in the process of purchasing a home, and was just informed that the drywall likely contains asbestos. However, this asbestos is non-friable.
One room needs a lot of sanding/patching/repainting, most others can just be painted and called good. I'm guessing I need to be pretty careful with that room -- likely have a professional handle it, or perhaps even replace the drywall entirely.
Do I have anything to worry about for the other rooms? Sounds like I can just put a new coat of paint on them and call them good?
I've seen other questions on here about asbestos, but none of them refer to the non-friable kind.
What dangers are there with disturbed asbestos drywall?
This is all new to me, so I need some help. Also, please mention your credentials in your answer... i.e. why I should trust your response.
