Plumbers and former plumbers: Get a free case review if you have been diagnosed with mesothlioma

Plumbers and even former plumbers are at risk of developing mesothelioma cancer from on-the-job asbestos exposure. The risk of asbestos exposure arises from asbestos containing products that are used by plumbers. One asbestos containing product used frequently by plumbers is insulation material for pipes. Such insulation material often contains asbestos. When asbestos containing products are disturbed e.g., by hammering or cutting, asbestos fibers can be released into the environment and inhaled.

Asbestos containing insulation material on pipes can be disturbed when pipes are being installed, repaired or replaced. Asbestos fibers are not visible to the naked eye and therefore, plumbers or former plumbers who have inhaled asbestos may have done so without knowledge of that fact. Asbestos cancers like lung cancer or mesothelioma cancer, can take 20 or more years to develop. Thus, even people who have retired from plumbing are still at risk of developing mesothlioma in the future.
