I’d just mask up and take it off. --24.152.xxx.xx

I also have this in my own home. Spoke to three different companies and their only solution was to paint it. That's not what I envisioned as a solution. I wanted a product like a tube that was split down the long side and wrapped around the pipe. The product is put there but no one is using it? I was told to spray it down with water yearly. But 8 years later I've not ever done that. We have no issues with it. Other people seem to dog the entire house cause of this visual. Anyways I never hired any company and one day I'll get back to it. Following your post. --172.56.xx.xxx

What about numerous coats of spray on flex seal over several days? --24.152.xxx.xx

I was thinking something like RedGuard or Aqua Defense, but they’d both stick out like a sore thumb. --143.105.x.xxx

I wouldnt do anything while it is occupied unless you can lock yourself down there and noone knows what you are doing.wait till it is vacant then remove it or wrap in duct tape and when asked that is how it was when you bought it --98.98.xx.xx

I had some electric drop from the exterior meter to the interior breaker box where the UV had cracked the outside plastic. The allowed water to get in and then drained to the breaker. I sealed that wire up with flex seal and was impressed with how well that stuff stuck. --204.111.xxx.xxx

It's a lot of piping. I'd rather an extra extra large swim noodle cut lenthways just to give you a Picture. They make such with a foil covering and soft interior insulation. And the seams are taped. Every once in a while I go down that rabbit hole. --172.56.xx.xxx

That will not only cover the joints, but also add insulation - which is generally a good thing around ductwork. Secure it with aluminum duct tape. --72.218.xx.xxx

Laws change. What might work now might not be acceptable in the future. If it is accessible, I would simply remove it and not have to worry about any changes in requirements in the future. --76.178.xxx.xxx

DJ... yes. --172.56.xx.xxx

Do you need a new furnace? When we purchased a place with asbestos in the basement, after they finished and left we noticed the asbestos was gone! --216.131.xx.xxx
