Duct wrap and boots
Wrapped duct runs and register boots are sampled where your HVAC work will cut. Each piece comes off wet and goes into a bag before the next is touched.

Replacing a furnace or rerouting ducts in an older Plymouth home can mean cutting through old wrap. MDH counts duct, pipe and furnace insulation among household asbestos sources, so a sample decides whether the wrap needs licensed removal before your HVAC contractor starts.
We work in mechanical rooms, lower levels and utility closets in houses, townhomes and apartment buildings across Plymouth, New Hope and Wayzata.
Heating system work
Heating pipes
Short runs of wrapped pipe can show up near an old furnace or water heater. We use a closed work area and strip them before the plumber cuts.
Furnace insulation
Insulation on the furnace cabinet is a separate material from the duct wrap, with its own sample and its own result.
Patching one damaged spot
Even when a damaged spot is under the regulated amount, MDH says that doesn’t make it safe and recommends licensed removal over a patch job of your own.
Lining up with your furnace change
Duct and pipe removal runs most smoothly when we and your HVAC installer agree on the dates ahead of time, so neither crew is left waiting on the other.
Furnace shutdowns
We agree on a shutdown window with you and your installer before the furnace goes off, so the house isn’t without heat longer than planned.
Room to work
Boxes and shelving near the furnace should be moved before we arrive. We build the enclosure around the work and keep a clear route outside for the sealed bags.
Paperwork you keep
Our last visit ends with two papers in your hand, the air test that cleared the area and the manifest showing where the wrap went.
A furnace quote without lab results on the wrap is a guess, so book asbestos testing first. Siding, ceilings and floors are all on the home page.
