Central Insulation Systems
You found gray-white insulation wrapped around pipes in your basement, boiler room, or mechanical area. The material is cracking, falling off in chunks, or releasing fibers when touched. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles this exact asbestos pipe insulation removal across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Why You Can Trust Us
Asbestos pipe insulation appears in buildings constructed before 1980. You'll find it wrapped around heating pipes, steam lines, and hot water pipes in basements, mechanical rooms, and boiler areas. The material looks like gray-white cloth or paper wrapped around the pipes, often secured with metal bands or wire.
The crumbling insulation makes normal building maintenance impossible. Your plumber can't repair leaks or replace sections without disturbing the material. HVAC contractors won't service equipment near those pipes. Every vibration from the heating system shakes more fibers loose into the air you breathe.
Central Insulation Systems Inc. seals the work area with plastic barriers before starting removal. The crew strips every section of insulation from the pipes using wet methods to prevent fiber release. Central Insulation Systems Inc. cleans all surfaces in the work area and disposes of the material at a state-licensed facility. New pipe insulation is separate if you want to replace what was removed.
You'll have full access to your mechanical systems again. Your plumber can make repairs and your HVAC contractor can service equipment without restrictions. The air in your basement or mechanical room will be clean and safe.

I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day.

I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!

Common questions
how to choose asbestos removal contractor
You need to hire someone for asbestos removal. You've never done this before. You don't know what licenses to look for or what questions to ask to avoid getting ripped off.
Only hire EPA-licensed asbestos contractors. Check their license number online. Ask for proof of liability insurance. Get written estimates that include containment, removal, disposal, and air clearance testing. Avoid anyone who offers to do testing and removal.
how much does asbestos removal cost
You need asbestos removed from your home or building. The quotes you're getting are all over the place. You don't know what's fair or why prices vary so much.
Asbestos removal cost depends on the type (floor tiles vs. pipe insulation), square footage, and containment requirements. Expect $15-25 per square foot for floor tiles, more for pipe insulation. Get three quotes from EPA-licensed contractors only.
asbestos pipe insulation basement boiler
You found white insulation wrapped around old pipes in your basement. It's cracking and pieces are falling off. You're worried about asbestos exposure.
Stop going in that area immediately. Do not touch or disturb the insulation. Crumbling asbestos pipe insulation releases dangerous fibers. Get it tested professionally. The 2 options are to have it covered with special encapsulating material or have it removed by a licensed abatement contractor.
how much does asbestos removal cost
You got a quote for asbestos removal that seems expensive. You're wondering if the price is fair or if you should get more estimates.
Asbestos removal cost depends on square footage, material type, and access difficulty. Pipe insulation runs $15-25 per linear foot. Floor tiles cost $5-15 per square foot. Get three licensed quotes and compare line items, not just total price.
asbestos floor tiles removal
You're renovating and found old floor tiles that might be asbestos. You stopped work because you're not sure if it's safe to remove them yourself.
Stop all work immediately. Do not sand, scrape, or break the tiles. Get a sample tested by a certified lab first. If it tests positive, hire a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. DIY removal is illegal in most areas and dangerous.
can I remove asbestos myself DIY
You found asbestos in your home. Hiring a contractor is expensive. You're wondering if you can safely remove small amounts of asbestos yourself to save money.
No. DIY asbestos removal is illegal in most states and extremely dangerous. Even small amounts can release deadly fibers that cause mesothelioma decades later. Only EPA-licensed contractors have the proper equipment, training, and disposal permits.
can I remove asbestos myself DIY
You found asbestos in your house. The removal quotes are expensive. You're wondering if you can do it yourself with the right equipment.
No. DIY asbestos removal is illegal in most states and extremely dangerous. You need special licenses, containment equipment, and disposal permits. One mistake can contaminate your entire house and put your family at risk.
