Expert Asbestos Black Mastic Removal in Highlands, NC
Black mastic is the dark, tar-like adhesive found beneath older vinyl floor tiles. In Highlands, NC, many homes and cabins built before 1980 still have this material bonded to their subfloors. When that adhesive contains asbestos, disturbing it without proper controls puts everyone in the building at risk. Asheville Global Environmental handles asbestos black mastic removal from start to finish. Our crew seals the work area with plastic sheeting and sets up negative air pressure to keep fibers contained. We use wet methods to loosen and lift the mastic rather than dry scraping or grinding, which can send fibers airborne. All material goes into sealed, labeled bags and is transported to a licensed disposal facility. Highlands sits in the western North Carolina mountains, where many older properties have seen minimal renovation. That means original flooring adhesives are often still in place under carpet, hardwood, or new tile. If you are planning a renovation or sale, call us before any floor work begins.

FAQ
Asbestos Black Mastic Removal FAQ
Common questions about asbestos black mastic removal in Highlands, NC.
The only way to confirm asbestos in black mastic is laboratory testing. A licensed asbestos inspector collects a sample and sends it to an accredited lab for analysis.
No, you should not remove black mastic yourself if asbestos is suspected or confirmed. Dry scraping or grinding the adhesive can release fibers into the air and create a serious exposure risk.
No, the tile and the mastic beneath it are tested separately. Even when old floor tiles test negative, the black mastic adhesive underneath can still contain asbestos.
Yes, it is common in western North Carolina homes and cabins built before 1980. Many Highlands properties have seen little renovation, so original flooring adhesives are often still in place.
All removed material is sealed in labeled bags and transported to a licensed disposal facility. Nothing is left on site or placed in regular waste containers.
Yes, North Carolina requires that asbestos abatement work be performed by accredited contractors. Asheville Global Environmental holds the required North Carolina accreditation for this work.
