How to Identify Asbestos

Asbestos tile adhesive was widely used in construction before the 1980s. If your property was built before this time, it's possible that you have asbestos tile adhesive in your flooring. Identifying asbestos can be tricky, but there are some signs to look for.

1. Check if your flooring was installed before the 1980s.
2. Look for the words "asbestos" or "contains asbestos" on the adhesive product label.
3. Inspect the tile adhesive for a fibrous texture, which is typical of asbestos-containing materials.
4. Hire a professional asbestos testing company to take samples and diagnose.

If you suspect that your flooring contains asbestos, it's important to seek professional advice. Asbestos is a hazardous material and should be handled by certified professionals.

The Asbestos Removal Process

The removal of asbestos tile adhesive is a complex process that must be carried out by trained professionals. The following steps are typically involved in the asbestos removal process:

1. The area is secured and isolated to avoid contamination.
2. The asbestos tile adhesive is wetted to prevent dust from being released into the air.
3. The adhesive is scraped off using specialized tools.
4. The asbestos-containing material is double-bagged and sealed for transport and disposal.
5. The area is cleaned and vacuumed using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.

It's important to note that attempting to remove asbestos tile adhesive on your own without the appropriate training and equipment is dangerous and illegal. Always seek help from professionals like Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex for safe and efficient removal.
