Me: I have good news and bad news
Client: what’s the good news?
Me: the abatement contractor has removed all the asbestos wrapping from the piping elbows.
Client: the bad news?
Me: ...apparently it was the only thing keeping the water in. The pipes are now leaking everywhere...

I know a guy in rural Delaware who has a pallet of new in box asbestos pipe wrap he’s been trying to sell, if you want to just replace it with fresh stuff.
He offered me a box when I bought a used lawnmower from him, politely declined. He’s also got some unused Freon cans, which would have been useful, if I had found him when I still had an ‘80s Lincoln.

I’ve seen some plumbing before... and I am now super curious... how does asbestos hold water?
Further more - why are we wrapping asbestos around water pipes? Are the water pipes subject to fire?

it used to be done for insulation around hot water pipes. I know because i used to play in the basement growing up and man did those things go POOF when a ball hit ‘em lol

It was too hard to remove JUST the wrap.

The asbestos doesn’t stop the leaks, but it keeps the water from dripping. Water seeps into the asbestos, and the fibers let the water spread out and evaporate before it drips to the floor. It’s like wrapping pipes in giant sponges. The water is still there, but it can evaporate faster.
