Learn more about our reliable insulation maintenance and repair services here at Bartelt Insulation. Discover how our robust insulation inspection can enhance operational efficiency in your industrial plant or facility.

​

Our insulation maintenance operates on a rotating basis, with each visit covering an area or system of the facility—at the end of each year, all accessible insulation systems have received the scheduled maintenance or inspection. An insulation repair technician will make minor repairs as needed including the following:

​

• Repair or replace caulk – keeping the insulation dry is very important in any insulation system.
   

• Repair or replace mastic – for vapor retarder or aesthetics, keep fibers of insulation from becoming air-born.
   

• Repair or replace bands that have become loose or are missing – keeping the protective jacket intact keeps insulation from becoming wet or damaged.
   

• Repair or replace tape – vapor barrier, aesthetics, keeping fibers from becoming air-born. 
   

• Repair or replace glue – whether it be a vapor barrier or a protective cover for insulation, it is an important part of the insulation system as a whole.
   

• Reinstall blankets – sometimes blankets are removed for maintenance and not reinstalled properly or at all.  This can be an issue of Personnel Protection and or energy savings/ heat loss.
   

• Reposition aluminum/stainless steel jacketing that is not damaged – sometimes the jacketing moves due to changes in weather, bands being loose, or vibration of the piping.  Again, this jacketing is installed to protect the insulation that it covers as well as aesthetics.
