How do you identify asbestos tiles?

• <div>If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used.

Do I need to be worried about asbestos?

• <div>If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there’s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it’s disturbed from removal.
