We are remodeling our bathroom and have asbestos tile in it. How do we remove it?

We are remodeling our bathroom and while we were tearing out the cupboards we found that there are three layers of linoleum, the bottom layer of which is asbestos. We can’t afford to have a professional come out and do it. Is there any way that we can remove the tile ourselves? We don’t want to encapsulate the floor either, we just want to get the asbestos out of there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, so their all wrong. You can easily and safely do the job yourself if you have any common sense. Yes, asbestos has been linked to cancer-disclaimer.

The truth is asbestos is very common, it’s even in most soil. Asbestos not airborne is not a problem so you keep it from getting airborn by keeping it wet.

How you do it. soak the floor completely and let the tile soak it. Next simply use a tile scraper (30 bucks at Lowe’s or home depot) and scrap it up. Keep wetting the tile as you pull it up and those around it. Just toss in a plastic bag and send it to the dump.

Key- keep it wet at all times. Asbestos is only dangerous if friable.

Later.
