| Topic | So my floor might be full of Asbestos. Advice would be appreciated. |
| EternalDivide 08/27/18 10:41:20 PM #56: | I have the stuff in my floor tiles and have dealt with it in the past. Forget Home Depot for the removal. All you need is a vacuum, floor scrapper and a good breathing mask. Wear long sleeves and pants. The asbestos fibers in the tile are within it. Pressed in the glue of the tile itself. It will not become airborne through the simple act of removing it. You would have to grind the titles up and have the particles go airborne for it to have any chance of being dangerous. A floor scrapper is $20 at Lowes. Looks like a large spatula on a metal handle the size of a shovel. Scrape up all the tiles and put them in large trash bags. Thrown them a couple at a time in your regular street trash bin. After those are gone run the vacuum on the subfloor. Use the attachments to get in the cracks. That's it. Wipe down the walls or counters if it's the kitchen. From there check the sub floor. If it's damaged then work on replacing it with 5/8 OSB board. The old wood will not have any asbestos in it or on it. Then have Home Depot put in the rug. --- FFVII Remake: A disaster in the making.
