I have a small section of 9x9 tiles in my basement that is asbestos containing. The tile is glued down (black mastic) directly on the concrete basement floor. 95% of the tiles are in good shape but the other 5% are breaking and coming up. I would like to encapsulating the tile and then put a nice thick sheet vinyl or something of that nature over it. In the section that the tile is in I dont seem to have any moisture problems or flooding.
What exactly is encapsulating and what would I use to do it?
Would a good thick sheet vinyl be able to be glued down on the encapsulated floor?
Is sheet vinyl a good option or is there something better for something like this?
Is there an entirely different way to go about this? I dont want to pull them up because of baby in the house and would be very difficult to contain due to basement layout. I also dont want to hire an abatement team if I dont have to.
Any help would be awesome.
