[quote=Anonymous]How did you handle asbestos tiles in your house? Articles I’ve read contradict each other. Background: We have 2-3 broken tiles. One area shows the adhesive (mastic) and that apparently contains asbestos. 1. Some say abatement companies do as little as they can get away with to seal the house and vent properly while removing asbestos tiles. 2. This Old House says to cover with carpet. 3. Another source says carpet is bad to use because asbestos dust can eventually seep through into carpet fibers. 4.HGTV recommends covering with self-leveling cement. Several sources say to consult abatement companies or experts if you have any broken tiles at all—even before encapsulating with cement. Have you dealt with this? If so, how did you handle it?
