If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. Asbestos tiles can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.

Professional asbestos testers or environmental consultants are the best people to call to test for asbestos. An asbestos testing company specializes in collecting and analyzing samples and will be the most qualified to do the job for you. An environmental consultant may not specialize in handling asbestos, but should still have the knowledge and know-how to safely collect a sample and send it off for analysis.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should contact the following officials to report a case of asbestos exposure:

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
