Removing asbestos can cost between $450 and $6,000, according to Angi.

What factors can affect the cost of asbestos removal?

Costs vary depending on the specifics of the particular job, explains Angi, such as the:

Removal process
Amount of asbestos present
Repairs needed alongside the removal
Size of the affected space

For example, Asbestos.com notes that there are different types of asbestos, and some are more dangerous than others. So, depending on which type of asbestos is present in your space and how much, you could be paying more or less than someone else seeking asbestos treatment due to the level of risk a worker is undertaking. Additionally, if you have a much larger affected area, you’re likely going to pay more for removal than someone with less square footage.

Considering the dangers of asbestos and the cost of removal, it’s recommended to have older homes inspected for asbestos before purchase.
