I was looking at buying a home with an octopus furnace (AKA gravity furnace) and the vent pipes were white and made of asbestos. I was told a HAZMAT team would have to come in and remove the asbestos, but I am curious as to what they do with the asbestos covered pipes when they are done. I was also told that if the pipes are not damaged or peeling that it is perfectly safe and it can remain in the home.
