Asbestos Floor Tile Removal Service

Removing Asbestos Floor Tiles: Risks and Recognition

Asbestos floor tiles, a common feature in buildings constructed before the 1980s, contain asbestos fibers for added strength and fire resistance. However, these fibers pose serious health risks if disturbed. Asbestos is linked to various diseases, including asbestosis and mesothelioma, due to the inhalation of tiny, airborne fibers.

Recognizing asbestos tiles is crucial for safety. These tiles typically measure 9×9, 12×12, or 18×18 inches and may appear in older buildings. If the tiles are in good condition – intact and undamaged – they pose less of a threat. However, any plan to modify, remove, or otherwise disturb these tiles increases the risk of fiber release.

Safe Removal of Asbestos Tiles: Why It's Not a DIY Job

The removal of asbestos floor tiles is fraught with hazards, making it unsuitable for DIY projects. When asbestos tiles are broken, drilled, or otherwise disturbed, they release harmful fibers into the air. Without proper safety measures, this can lead to severe health complications.

Professional asbestos removal involves specialized methods and equipment, including the use of plastic sheets to seal the work area and prevent fiber spread. Experts in asbestos abatement use personal protective equipment (PPE) and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to safely remove and contain asbestos fibers.

Additionally, they are trained in the proper disposal of asbestos materials, adhering to local and federal regulations to ensure that these harmful substances are safely removed from the environment.

Testimonials

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 am very pleased with the work performed by Environmental Services Of America. Elias came out to look at a job, talked to me through it until I understood the entire process. They showed up on the schedule day and worked till the job was done. Elias sent pictures of the progress every day and when I got back to the house it was perfectly clean, they could not have done a better job.
