The problem when people wrap pipes they skip a step.
Almost no one seals the wrap. There are silicone sparys that seal oil and water out of the wrap.
I have seen properly wraped piping fail at the flange, where its not coved at all after years of service. The sealed sections on the pipes looked good.
