I wonder if anyone has done testing of sample for asbestos in NJ. How
expensive is it and reliable results are? I have vinyl tile floor in my
basement workshop and 40% of tiles peeled up or otherwise broke and I
concern about tiles contained asbestos. So I am thinking about
submitting a piece of a tile to an asbestos testing lab. Is it worth
doing? If asbestos is indeed found what's the best way to address the
problem? Cover entire workshop floor with modern vinyl tiles?

Whatever you do, never tell anyone you have an asbestos problem.

Never get your property tested as it creates a record of your
asbestos problem that will cost you millions. All the illnesses in
the neighborhood are cause by your asbestos and you have to pay them
plus attorney fees and court costs.
