Duct wrap and seam tape
White paper wrap on trunk lines and the tape at joints and register boots each need a sample. A clean result on the wrap does not clear the tape.

Asbestos can be in heating ducts, seam tape, furnace insulation and pipe covering, which all appear on MDH’s list of home products to check. When the lab confirms it, we strip the material wet and bag it, and your heating contractor can then replace the furnace, reroute ducts or repair pipes.
Licensed contractors take on friable pipe insulation of more than 10 linear feet. We work in basements and utility rooms around Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and Crystal.
Heating materials we remove
Furnace insulation
An older furnace can have insulation on its body or at the duct collar. We remove it before the old unit is hauled out.
Boiler and pipe covering
Pipes from a boiler or water heater can be covered in wrap or molded sections. These come off wet, a short length at a time.
Small repairs
We treat a patch on one pipe elbow the same way as a basement full of wrapped pipe, with a licensed crew. MDH warns that the regulated quantity is a legal line, not a safety line.
Working with your heating contractor
Furnace and boiler replacements run on a schedule, so we plan the work together.
Heat during the job
You, your heating contractor and our crew agree on the furnace shut-off window before setup day.
Space to work
Move stored things away from the furnace, the duct runs and the basement stairs. We need that room for the enclosure and for carrying sealed bags out.
Records at the end
You receive the air-sampling lab report and the waste manifest with the rest of the job records. MDH suggests homeowners ask for both.
