Asbestos in basement

02/14/2006 12:30 PM januarydecember

Was told by our home inspector we could remove the piping insulation ourselves and throw it in the regular trash a little at a time. As we kept hitting our heads on the pipes, and many were split, we thought it would be a good thing to do. Well we took it off (masks overalls etc) but when I got back and looked online to figure out how to clean it up, apparently it was the worst thing we could do. Now I am entirely freaked out. We just purchased the house and need to move in a week. We have almost no money left, everything went to the house. Other repairs we were going to do ourselves as we got the money. From reading, wetting it down and using hepa filter wet dry vac may be ok? What can we do. We haven't thrown out anything yet. We just wanted the basement to be safe to store stuff. Please any info, cost to get help etc would be much appreciated.
