Hi Jeff,
I hit reply all as this could be helpful info for others as well. If the floors are indeed 50's vintage there is a really good chance that there will be Asbestos present in the tiles. If they are 9"x9" instead of the more common 12"x12" modern style VCT (vinyl composition tiles) then the chance is way higher. This does'nt mean you have to freak out, Asbestos removal is only super critical when the product becomes 'friable' or turned into dust. No power tools as a rule for the removal, wear a respirator, keep it damp and use heavy duty floor scrapers. the less you break it the better. It may come up easy or it may come up hard. I think there is a place locally that you can send a sample to have it tested if you like. If you are planning on doing it yourself you might try tearing up a test spot in a closet or other out of the way place to see if maybe a new floating wood floor over the top of it might be better. If
you are going to have someone else do the work this will be good info to have in case they start unloading big power floor grinders from their truck.
All the best,
Jake Rosenfeld

Hey is anyway out there in OBRA land an expert on old tile floors....as in getting torn up...
We are ripping the carpet up in our basement and underneath is old probably 1950's vintage thin asphalt type that has been glued down with black roofing glue or something, it will not even scrap up...We want to get it down to the smooth concrete and re-finish the concrete floor and stain or paint that....Any help or if you can come look at it would be appreciated....
Thanks,
Jeff
BE CAREFUL!!!!!! I post this to list for all to have a heads up... we all could live / work in places presenting this type of floor.
Tile and adhesive that age are probably full of asbestos . Very nasty stuff. This can be some of the worst asbestos. Do not sand or grind the stuff!!! This is not a joke! Anyone out there who wants to try to remove on their own had better at least do it in a method that keeps it wet at all times to limit the release of the asbestos. Even then you will not get rid of all of the stuff and when dries back out can become airborne...and inhaled. This is not good. Especially in a confined place like a room/house. The professionals remove it with a solvent and a vac system that pretty much gets rid of all of it. It costs... yes, but less than your life with mezotheilioma (sp) or other cancer. Another option is to fill low areas and cover it with another floor surface (I would suggest a hard surface... not carpet). I do not know the city code about this, but someone might. You might be able to get some advice on removal on the internet. BE overly CAREFUL. For people who poo poo this, I say think about others who might use the space... not just what you might think is bunk. It is not bunk.
