@@L33TZER no. Heating those tiles doesn't release the fibers. Especially if the heat is in the form of steam. It just gets soggy. Nothing is released. In fact, the abatement company that I've used before, I explained the process what I was doing and they thought it was the best way that it could possibly be done and was even better than how they do it.
Where do you dispose of them after removal? We have a small laundry room with about maybe 100 sq ft of asbestos tile. And there are 4 or 5 boxes of unopened boxes in our crawl space of the stuff. I know we can't just put it in our garbage, right?
@@stephaniechase9019 after doing this for a day I ended up calling an asbestos company I've used before. They gave me a price that was better than what I was charging and they came in with 3 guys. They took my waste. Id call a local asbestos abatement company and ask them
@@CForged I called an asbestos removal place and they said if we want to try to take them out ourselves they would come and pick it up and dispose of it for us. For a small fee of course. Professional removal quote was $2550 :(
@@alstodolski4991 It was averaging about 1 minute for each tile. If your tiles are 12-in tiles, it will take you about 800 minutes. And of course you can buy two of these machines and cut the time in half.
Looks like this method works extremely well. Thanks for sharing!
Who ever created that thing should have made it in a 10 x10 width. To make it more efficient for 9 x 9 tile
Wouldn’t heating the asbestos cause it to release? Genuinely asking, facing the same problem

Can you imagine how often people do throw it out in the trash. I’m sure it’s very common.

So it looks like a reasonable method but it also looks like it would take a very long time to complete at the rate of removal shown
@@alski259 indeed. For a small job or a diy it can be perfect. Or if you are on a budget it's perfect too
@@snakeclaw Small? Well not exactly. About 800 sq ft. I'll make this a winter project. Maybe by spring I'll be putting down new floor in the basement.

Throw that right out in the trash
