Were you exposed to asbestos in pipe insulation? You have a right to seek compensation if asbestos caused your injury.

Not so long ago, asbestos was frequently used for insulation heating pipes and other pipes where tempurature needed to be maintained.

It can commonly be found in basements, with the insulation of pipes coming from steam or hot water furnaces leading into living areas.

Garages also frequently contain insulation of transit piping proceeding through garage area.

If the pipe insulation is crumbling or decaying, removal may be the safest solution.

It is imperative, however, that you contact a professional asbestos abatement company to do this work. Asbestos, a known carcinogen, may not be removed without knowledge of the proper procedures.
