Asbestos pipe insulation appears in buildings constructed before 1980. You'll find it wrapped around heating pipes, steam lines, and hot water pipes in basements, mechanical rooms, and boiler areas. The material looks like gray-white cloth or paper wrapped around the pipes, often secured with metal bands or wire.
The crumbling insulation makes normal building maintenance impossible. Your plumber can't repair leaks or replace sections without disturbing the material. HVAC contractors won't service equipment near those pipes. Every vibration from the heating system shakes more fibers loose into the air you breathe.
Central Insulation Systems Inc. seals the work area with plastic barriers before starting removal. The crew strips every section of insulation from the pipes using wet methods to prevent fiber release. Central Insulation Systems Inc. cleans all surfaces in the work area and disposes of the material at a state-licensed facility. New pipe insulation is separate if you want to replace what was removed.
You'll have full access to your mechanical systems again. Your plumber can make repairs and your HVAC contractor can service equipment without restrictions. The air in your basement or mechanical room will be clean and safe.

I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!
