Transite Ducting

Transite Ducting: Understanding the Risks and Solutions

Transite ducting, a cement-asbestos product prevalent in homes built during the 1960s and early 1970s, continues to be a concern for homeowners due to its potential health risks.

Health Concerns

Asbestos-containing ductwork can release harmful fibers when damaged, potentially causing serious respiratory issues like lung cancer and mesothelioma. However, intact transite ducts typically pose minimal risk.

We recently assisted a homebuyer concerned about asbestos ductwork in a concrete slab, particularly with a newborn in the home. This scenario is not uncommon in older properties.

Recommended Solution

Our Duct Armor product offers a safe, efficient method to manage asbestos-containing ductwork by:

• Sealing and encapsulating existing asbestos ducts
• Preventing fiber release
• Ensuring long-term air quality and safety

While transite ducting presents potential risks, professional inspection and modern encapsulation techniques can effectively mitigate these concerns, providing peace of mind for homeowners.
