Vinyl tile
Old vinyl tile gets two samples, one for the tile and one for the black glue under it. Positive layers come up by hand and stay wet. EPA advises against power strippers where asbestos is possible.

A kitchen or bath floor that is due for replacement may hide vinyl tile, sheet-vinyl backing or glue of the kind EPA lists as a possible asbestos source. Nobody can tell by sight. DeSoto Asbestos Removal samples the layers and clears any that test positive, so the new floor goes onto a clean surface.
Floor work is also available in Duncanville and Lancaster.
Floors we handle
Sheet vinyl
A thin printed layer sits on a backing. EPA lists the backing, so we sample it with the top layer. Another floor underneath is tested separately.
Floors under carpet
Pulling carpet in an older house sometimes uncovers tile that nobody knew was there. We would rather sample before the carpet comes up than stop in the middle of the job.
Frequently asked questions
Does my kitchen floor have asbestos?
Possibly. Only a lab test on a sample can say.
When should I book the testing?
While you are still collecting installer quotes. Lab results in hand keep them from holding up your start date.
