Questions we get
Can I just floor over the old tile?
Often yes — encapsulating intact tile avoids abatement entirely. Testing tells you whether that shortcut is legal and safe for your project.
Is the black glue always asbestos?
Not always, but black mastic frequently tests positive even when the tile above it is clean. That is why we sample both layers.
