How To Remove Asbestos Tiles
How can we put a new floor in my parent’s basement?
The original floor treatment was asbestos tiles. After a few sewer backups the tiles are starting to raise up and buckle. I think it would be cost prohibitive to have the tiles removed and discarded because they contain asbestos. Is there something that would seal all this in and allow us to put carpet or other flooring material on top? I would suspect many people who had renovations done in the 60’s are having this exact same problem.
all the tiles must be first removed by a certified asbestos remover…..this is the law.
once removed you can retile, carpet, slate, anything you want.
to attempt the removal yourself will just cause serious health issues with all involved and may risk your parents lives as they will be living there while the asbestos flies around all over the house.
there is no way to seal it down to just carpet over it.
