Vinyl floor tiles installed before 1980 are among the most common asbestos-containing materials found in Royal Oak 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 Royal Oak properties using full EPA-compliant containment and certified disposal throughout Oakland County.
Why Royal Oak Homes Have Asbestos Floor Tiles
Royal Oak has approximately 73% of its housing stock built before 1980. Neighborhoods like downtown Royal Oak, Woodward corridor, Vinsetta Park, Northwood, Pleasant Ridge-adjacent 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.
