Vinyl floor tiles installed before 1980 are among the most common asbestos-containing materials found in Grand Rapids homes and buildings. The classic 9×9 inch tiles — and their black mastic adhesive — frequently tested positive for asbestos. At US Asbestos Contracting, our AHERA-certified technicians safely remove asbestos floor tiles from Grand Rapids properties using full EPA-compliant containment and certified disposal throughout Kent County.
Why Grand Rapids Homes Have Asbestos Floor Tiles
Grand Rapids has approximately 65% of its housing stock built before 1980. Neighborhoods like Heritage Hill, Eastown, West Side, Creston, Fulton Heights are especially likely to contain original asbestos floor tile in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. Disturbing these tiles during renovation releases dangerous fibers — Michigan law requires professional abatement first.
