Materials to Treat with Caution - Plumbing Equipment

Plumbers usually understand the potential risks involved with different types of materials and equipment, as they are generally trained in regards to their own safety and long-term health. This was especially important when asbestos was used prominently in the plumbing field due to its benefits as an insulator. However, if you're a "do-it-yourselfer," you may not be aware of all of these risks. Below are a few items that contained asbestos in the past:

• Boiler insulation
• Pipe insulation
• Cooling towers

Of course, these are just three of many products that contained asbestos in the past. If you discover that your plumbing is more than 20 years old, the first thing you need to do is contact a licensed plumbing contractor to determine if any of these materials are contaminated. Do not attempt to remove them yourself.

If you have been exposed, contact the asbestos lawyers at Williams Kherkher for a free initial consultation.
