An asbestos abatement company can test it for her. If they come out and take
a sample to their lab, and it isn't asbestos, then she has documented proof.
If it is, and she covers it up, and goes to sell the place, she'll have to
disclose it to a buyer, and they will most likely want it removed. If it's
asbestos, she should not cover it up.

it's not a quick, pleasant death at the end. Seriously. "


Before she starts with abatement, don;'t you think it would be a good
idea to find out
if she even has asbestos in the tiles, which was the question she was
asking? And if
she does have asbestos in floor tiles, they generally don't present a
health hazard unless
you start smashing them up. Simplest solution would be to cover them
up with a new layer
of flooring.
