Before the mid-1970s, asbestos was indeed used in the manufacturing of vinyl sheet materials. After asbestos usage was prohibited, surviving supplies of asbestos-containing flooring were sold into the late 1970s or early 1980s, suggesting that the vinyl floor in a 1981 house could contain asbestos. The only way to be certain is to do a test on the content.
Asbestos may be present in flooring materials such as sheet vinyl, floor tiles, and any accompanying paper-like backing, adhesive, or glue. Asbestos was put to flooring throughout the manufacturing process to reinforce it and increase its longevity.
When intact and in good shape, asbestos-containing flooring is not considered harmful. However, heat, moisture, or aging can cause flooring to become friable. Friable refers to the ability of the flooring to disintegrate under hand pressure. Additionally, flooring can be made friable during removal. Friable flooring can cause asbestos to be released into the air. When asbestos is released into the air, it poses a health concern to those who breathe it.

We weren’t sure if the was asbestos in our floor or not. We called in the morning and they sent a technician out that afternoon and we had results the next day. Great technician, great customer service, all around a good experience with them.
I was contacted promptly after inquiry, Eli was great in explaining where specifically the asbestos was found in my older mobile home, and how it was to be removed before the structure could be demolished. Job was done great and within the timeframe they stated in the estimate. Would definitely recommend.
We needed an asbestos report for a tear down and rebuild. It couldn't have been easier they showed up took the samples they needed and quickly got the report back to us back to us in a couple days. Elias Hernandez was our services agent 👍👍👍
