Asbestos removal services
Asbestos-backed vinyl and millboard from beneath a vinyl floor
Friable Vinyl Sheet Floor Covering
Removal Procedure
Safety First
While the millboard is still attached to the floor, it should be wetted down as the vinyl layer is peeled away.
Proper Dampening
While the asbestos millboard needs to be dampened properly, do not wet it to the point where pools of contaminated water are formed.
Heat Application Caution
If heat is needed to soften the old adhesive beneath a vinyl tile, be sure avoid burning the tile. Otherwise poisonous decomposition products can be produced.
Vinyl Strip Preparation
To make removal easier, the vinyl can be cut into strips before bagging or can be rolled into single roll and wrapped and sealed with plastic.
Soaking and Scraping
If some of the asbestos millboard on the floor surface remains there, soak it with water and then scrape away.
Alternative Removal Hazards
If you are considering using other methods of removal for millboard, be wary of excessive fibre release from the asbestos millboard and other additional hazards.
