In a Blaine kitchen or basement, asbestos can sit in any of three layers of an old floor. It may be in the vinyl tile, in sheet flooring or in the black mastic glue underneath, so we sample each one separately. We take up whatever tests positive down to the subfloor, and tiles that release come up in whole pieces.
Since July 2021, flooring in buildings of up to four units has no exemption.
Floors we remove
Mastic
The glue gets its own sample and can test differently from the tile.
Sheet flooring
MPCA calls linoleum’s paper backing friable in most cases. It comes up wet.
Covering it instead
MDH allows intact flooring to be covered. Damaged flooring can release fibers.
Getting the floor ready
A little planning shortens the job.
Clear the floor
Empty the room down to bare floor before we arrive.
Carpet over old tile
Pull back a corner so the tile and glue can be sampled.
What the subfloor shows
We flag soft or water-stained spots for your flooring installer.
