Vinyl floor tiles installed before 1980 are among the most common asbestos-containing materials found in Southfield 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 Southfield properties using full EPA-compliant containment and certified disposal throughout Oakland County.
Why Southfield Homes Have Asbestos Floor Tiles
Southfield has approximately 72% of its housing stock built before 1980. Neighborhoods like Southfield north, Telegraph Road corridor, Northwestern Highway area, Lahser Road district 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.
