Now on the post:  Nashville Home Inspection - Asbestos Duct Tape - What Wrong With this Picture?

HINT:  What's that white stuff on the old ductwork?  And, the house is over 70 years old.

ANSWER:  Probably asbestos.  And it is loose and frayed.  This should be removed or covered in such a way that it cannot disperse into the air.

Thank you,

Richard Acree
