[quote=Anonymous]Are we talking about old asbestos tile in the kitchen? If so, it's a much smaller health risk than, say, asbestos-wrapped pipes. It's just much harder for the asbestos to go airborne; basically it only happens when the tile gets chewed up and begins breaking apart. Which is why if you remove it you want to have an expert do it. But there's a good case for leaving it as is and simply hiring someone to put a new floor over top of it. They can often use a leveling compound over the old tile to make the new floor more even. Only reasons to remove it are if it is crumbling already or if you anticipate that future work in the kitchen will require tearing up the floor (and disturbing the asbestos tile).[/quote]
