Asbestos Mastic & Flooring Adhesive in Syracuse, NY

Adhesive can remain after flooring is removed

Black or other old adhesive may remain bonded to a substrate even after tile or sheet flooring is gone.

Appearance does not confirm asbestos

Color and age alone cannot tell you whether a mastic contains asbestos. Laboratory analysis is used for confirmation.

Avoid grinding suspect adhesive

Mechanical grinding or aggressive surface preparation can disturb material. Identify the adhesive before selecting a removal method.
