What Is Asbestos Flooring and Why Should You Be Concerned?

Before the 1980s, manufacturers used asbestos in vinyl and linoleum tiles because it was fire-resistant, cheap, and added durability. But when these tiles crack, chip, or get disturbed during renovation, they release microscopic fibers into the air that cause chronic diseases and damage lungs.

The risks include:

Microscopic fibers are released when tiles crack, break, or are scraped during removal

Mesothelioma and lung cancer are linked to prolonged asbestos exposure

Asbestosis is a disease that causes permanent scarring of the lung tissue

Higher exposure risk for children who play on or near the floor surface

If your floors look old, cracked, or are peeling at the edges, do not try to pull them up yourself. Call us for asbestos removal or asbestos tile removal in Brooklyn before those fibers become airborne.

For Homeowners and Landlords

Old kitchens, basements, and hallways in Brooklyn homes are common spots for asbestos flooring. Whether you are planning a renovation or noticed your tiles cracking apart, removal is a must before new flooring goes down. We schedule around your household and keep the rest of your home accessible during the project.

For Commercial and Institutional Buildings

Brooklyn’s schools, offices, retail locations, and multi-unit buildings often have floors installed with asbestos-containing tiles. NYC law mandates that asbestos must be addressed before any renovation or demolition permit is approved. We work with facility managers and building owners to meet compliance deadlines without disrupting daily operations.

Which Floor Tiles Are Most Likely to Contain Asbestos?

Certain types of floors carry a much higher risk than others.

01

9x9 Inch Vinyl Tiles

Tiles are considered the biggest red flag. This was the go-to size from the 1920s through the 1970s, and the vast majority of them were manufactured with asbestos fibers mixed into the vinyl.

02

12x12 Inch Vinyl Tiles

Titles made before 1985 also have a high probability of containing asbestos. The concentration varies depending on when and where they were produced.

03

Sheet Vinyl with Paper Backing

It used asbestos in the backing layer and sometimes in the adhesive as well. Peeling or bubbling sheet vinyl in older buildings should be treated as suspect.

04

Rubber-Style Floor Tiles

It found in commercial spaces and institutional buildings from that era are another common source of asbestos-containing material.

05

Black Mastic Adhesive

This is the glue that holds old tiles to the subfloor, and it is one of the most overlooked asbestos hazards. Even if the tiles themselves test negative, the mastic underneath might not.

If you are not sure what your floors are made of, that is exactly why we offer inspections. Call us for professional asbestos tile removal in Brooklyn and find out for certain.

Why You Should Never Remove Asbestos Floor Tiles on Your Own

DIY asbestos flooring removal is not just risky; it is illegal in New York City without proper licensing and permits. The NYC Department of Environmental Protection requires certified professionals to handle any asbestos abatement project.

  • Beyond the legal side, here is what can go wrong if you try it yourself
  • Breaking tiles releases thousands of invisible fibers into the air you and your family breathe
  • Sweeping or vacuuming asbestos debris with a regular vacuum spreads contamination further
  • Improper disposal of asbestos floor tiles can result in fines starting at $10,000 or more
  • Contaminated areas may require a far more expensive professional cleanup afterward
  • Exposure during removal without protective equipment puts your health at serious long-term risk

The money you think you are saving is not worth the hospital bills, the fines, or the risk to the people around you. Call Big Apple Asbestos for licensed asbestos testing in Brooklyn.
