Asbestos Tile Removal in Michigan
Asbestos tile removal is a critical service for homes and commercial buildings constructed before the late 1980s. Many older properties in Michigan still contain asbestos floor tiles and the black adhesive (mastic) used to install them. When these materials are disturbed, they can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air, creating serious health risks.
REST Environmental provides professional, licensed asbestos tile removal services throughout Oakland County, Southeast Michigan, Mid-Michigan, and Central Lower Michigan, including the Lansing area. Our team is fully certified, insured, and licensed to perform asbestos abatement in the State of Michigan, ensuring every project is completed safely and in compliance with all regulations.
Why Asbestos Floor Tiles Are Dangerous
Asbestos-containing floor tiles were commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to their durability and fire resistance. These tiles are typically 9×9, 12×12, or 18×18 inches and often contain asbestos fibers embedded within the material.
While intact tiles may appear harmless, cutting, breaking, sanding, or removing them improperly can release microscopic asbestos fibers. Prolonged exposure has been linked to serious illnesses, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Because asbestos tiles cannot be safely removed without specialized equipment and training, professional abatement is essential.
