Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral that was commonly used in building materials in the past due to its strength and durability.

The Dangers of Asbestos Floor Tile Adhesive

Asbestos floor tile adhesive is a strong and durable material that was commonly used in the past to install asbestos floor tiles. However, it is also a hazardous material that can release hazardous fibers when disturbed. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can lead to serious health problems such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.

It is important to note that not all floor tiles contain asbestos, but if you have identified that your floor tiles are made with asbestos, it is safest to assume that the adhesive is too.

DIY Asbestos Removal vs Professional Asbestos Removal

It is never safe or recommended to attempt DIY asbestos removal. Removing asbestos floor tile adhesive requires specialized equipment, protective gear and professional training. Asbestos fibers can become airborne very easily and can remain floating in the air for long periods of time. This means that even a small mistake or an accidental disturbance can lead to contamination, exposing anyone in the vicinity to the hazardous fibers.

Professional asbestos removal services ensure that the removal process is conducted using the recommended industry protocols to protect against contamination. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we use state-of-the-art equipment and follow all health and safety guidelines ensuring the asbestos floor adhesive is removed safely, quickly and efficiently.

The Process of Removing Asbestos Floor Tile Adhesive

The process of removing asbestos floor tile adhesive begins with a thorough inspection of the area. Our team of licensed and trained professionals will evaluate the condition of the adhesive and determine the best approach for removal. We will establish a removal plan and focus on creating a sealed work area with polyethylene sheeting to prevent contamination of surrounding areas.

The removal process begins with the controlled misting of the adhesive with a fiberlock product. This encapsulates the adhesive and reduces the release of fibers during removal.

After encapsulation, our team will carefully remove the adhesive using special tools and equipment, ensuring minimal disturbance to the asbestos fibers. We will then bag the asbestos waste and dispose of it with a certified asbestos removal company.
