Asbestos pipe insulation is one of the highest-risk asbestos materials found in Chicago homes — white, chalky, or fibrous wrap on heating pipes, steam pipes, and hot water lines. When the wrap deteriorates or is disturbed, it releases high concentrations of airborne fibers. If you see chalky material on pipes, do not touch it — call us immediately.
