When it comes to older plumbing and asbestos it is always best to practice caution. Proper repairs or remediation is required to protect health and safety of family or employees by contacting a certified asbestos contractor to remove the asbestos from your property. There are pipes that run through the entire home or commercial building in basements, attics, walls and throughout that can contain dangerous levels of asbestos in older properties. Pipe manufacturers used asbestos in piping material because of its fire resistance, strength and light weight.
There were 2 ways that pipe manufacturers used asbestos in the material that included the pipe wrapping or insulation and pipe materials where ACM constructed the walls of the pipe. Steel and concrete pipes that are 50 years old most likely are going to need to be replaced.
