COMMUNITY FORUM. Asbestos Floor Tile and Black Mastic. I purchased a house built in 1965 last year and the basement has leaked for the past 10-15 years on and off. As such, many of the floor tiles have become very loose and popped up off the floor. I know from neighbors that they are asbestos tiles (9x9) and since I have some ambition to renovate the 1500 sq. ft. basement, I have already started to remove some of the tiles.
