Floor Tile Asbestos Inspection

We often get calls from home owners after they speak with flooring contractors such as Home Depot and others. Removal of any flooring material (including 9" floor tiles, linoleum, sheet vinyl and more) over 32 square feet in a single family residence requires an asbestos inspection.

New homes built after the 2000s need to be tested as well. Asbestos has been banned for a long time, but we do import products from other countries. Although it is unlikely to find asbestos in new homes, it is a possibility and occasionally happens from time to time.

When sampling, it is important to test the glue or mastic below the flooring material and to look for hidden layers as well. It is not uncommon to find multiple layers of flooring material in any given area.

Colorado Asbestos Inspections can provide home owners and contractors results and full reports within two to three business days from the time of inspection.
