Home builders have used asbestos for a long time, especially to insulate heating pipes in older Massachusetts homes. However, touching or disturbing it in any way causes potential health problems. Now, you want this material inspected immediately and removed from your home. You need the most experienced professionals, and we’re happy to help you with specialty services in asbestos pipe insulation removal.

Some might tell you to test the asbestos yourself, but this puts you at risk for lung problems. So contact us, and we’d be happy to help identify asbestos pipe insulation. But wait, you want to know—what does asbestos pipe insulation look like? Aside from fiberglass insulation, there are two types relatively known to all asbestos inspectors:

Corrugated air cells – this insulation appears gray and feels like cardboard.
Magnesium insulation – this material is white and difficult to break apart.

Why Removing Asbestos From Pipes Is Important

No matter what area of the house your piping’s in, it’s essential to perform an asbestos insulation removal to protect everyone’s health. If your asbestos pipe insulation is not intact or in poor condition it is at risk of releasing asbestos fibers into the air, in such cases we recommend removal or encapsulation.

How Does Air Safe Inc. Encapsulate Asbestos On Pipes

How do we go about performing asbestos pipe insulation encapsulation? First, we collect our safety gear, consisting of respirators with asbestos-grade HEPA filtered respirators. Then, we add disposable suits and prep the area. We then wrap the asbestos pipe insulation in rewettable fiberglass sheathing to encapsulate the fibers.

How Do We Remove Asbestos From Pipes?

The way we do asbestos pipe insulation removal is by following State regulatory requirements to remove asbestos pipe insulation safely.

After filing an Asbestos Notification Form with the state regulators and awaiting the appropriate ten day notification period, the removal can begin.

The area is prepped with 6 mil poly sheeting, we then establish a HEPA negative air pressure environment
Our crew wears the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment include HEPA filtered respirators and disposable suits & gloves
The material is wet with an amended solution to keep the fiber count down during our work
Materials are removed, containerized, labeled and properly transported for disposal.
After the removal, an independent industrial hygienist performs a post abatement inspection and provides a written report.

What’s the Cost of Asbestos Pipe Insulation Removal?

Before removing any asbestos insulation on pipes, we’ll provide a quote to you. The factors at play determine the final cost, but you may see prices starting at around $2,000-3,000. However, your project may be different—you may have one run of pipe or many.

Should You Remove Asbestos?

There are times when asbestos removal is not recommended. If an old installation is sealed or incorporated securely into a building material, there is often no need to take it out. In fact, disturbing it could cause the very air-quality problems you are trying to avoid! We can advise you on what to do if you plan to renovate, repair, or replace any component of your home.
