Asbestos Floor Tile and Mastic Removal

Those old floor tiles in your basement are 9-inch squares with that black tar-like adhesive underneath. The edges are cracking and pieces break off when you step on them. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles asbestos floor tile and mastic removal across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

FULLY LICENSED & INSURED

Most of these tiles date back to the 1950s through early 1980s when asbestos was standard in flooring. You'll find them in basements, utility rooms, and older commercial buildings. They're usually 9-inch squares in colors like green, brown, or gray, with that thick black mastic adhesive that never fully dries. The tiles themselves feel brittle and may have small cracks or chips around the edges.

You can't do any real renovation work with these tiles still in place. Most contractors won't touch anything in that room until the asbestos is gone. The tiles keep breaking when you walk on them, and that black adhesive gets tracked through the house on shoes. You're basically locked out of using that space for anything that requires getting on the floor.

Central Insulation Systems Inc. seals the work area with plastic and negative air pressure to keep fibers contained. The crew removes each tile without breaking it, then scrapes up every bit of that black mastic underneath. All the material goes into sealed bags and gets hauled to a licensed disposal facility. Air testing at the end confirms the room is safe, and you get the lab results in writing.

You'll have a clean concrete floor ready for whatever comes next. Your contractor can install new flooring without any safety concerns. That room becomes usable space again instead of the area everyone avoids walking through.
