Chill Water Lagging Insulation Repairs:

COLGW  proposes repair of any lagging that is missing or falling down by cutting out only the bad section and installing new insulation there.  One of the board members thought the pipe was leaking, but actually condensation on the pipe had caused the dripping.  There could be many reasons that the insulation fell apart in that area, but to replace all pipes'  insulation is unnecessary.  Annual inspections of the lagging insulation are important in order to keep it well-maintained.

​

Definition:

Pipe lagging is another (more commonly used) name for pipe insulation. It's generally used to help conserve temperature in pipes, to prevent condensation, or to reduce the noise that comes out of pipes.

There is no reason to replace insulation / lagging, as long the insulation / lagging is doing the job to keep the moisture / condensation inside and off the floor or off the elements or components. If insulation is hanging off because the insulation is ripped, then rip off the damaged insulation and replace with new insulation.
