Mastic Removal Services in Tulsa
The thought of asbestos generally conjures up quite negative feelings, as we have learned over time that it poses a serious health hazard. Asbestos has been linked to Mesothelioma, a tumor of the tissue that lines the lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs. Mesothelioma most often leads to cancer of the lungs.
Although Mesothelioma can be helped with treatment, to date the condition remains without a cure. We would never want to subject ourselves to such a harmful material, but did you know it could be lurking under your flooring?
A Category I Non-Friable Asbestos-Containing Material
Mastic flooring, an industrial strength adhesive that was often used to hold down and set tile and carpet also contains asbestos. In fact, construction mastic, most often adhered directly to the concrete, has been ranked as a Category I non-friable asbestos-containing material. In order for a material to earn Category I status, it must contain one percent or more of asbestos and may actually emit asbestos fibers should it be disturbed. Therefore, it goes without saying that tough Mastic flooring removal should be left to the professionals.
The Benefits of Mastic Removal
Removing Mastic flooring can be very beneficial for a couple of reasons. Not only can its removal prevent you and your loved ones from asbestos exposure, but it can also serve to increase the value of your home or property. If you should decide to sell your real estate, you are required by law to report the presence of asbestos to the potential buyer. It is likely that informing a prospective buyer of this fact will deter them from making the purchase. In other words, removing Mastic flooring can decrease your risk and increase your reward.
