Beware of asbestos

Examine that that leaky pipe before you call in a plumber. If it appears to be wrapped in any kind of insulating material, that’s likely to be asbestos. Asbestos can cause cancer and other illnesses when people breathe it in, or even if it falls on people’s hair and clothes. Call an asbestos abatement company first. Asbestos removal is costly, but you must get it done before your plumber can access the damaged area of your pipe. Asbestos removal requires special equipment, safety and disposal measures – it is not a do-it-yourself job. It would be a waste of your time and money to call a plumber if your damaged pipes are asbestos-wrapped. A proper professional plumber will refuse to touch it. If you do encounter a plumber who’s willing to work around asbestos, you’ll be receiving questionable quality service, and more importantly, you’ll be putting the health of everyone who comes into your Fort Collins home or business at serious risk by allowing the asbestos to be disturbed. Once the asbestos is safely removed, call an Allen Service Plumbing expert to your Fort Collins home and get the pipes repaired properly.
