When it’s time for a flooring upgrade, removing stubborn adhesives like mastic can be one of the toughest parts of the job. Mastic, a sticky adhesive often used in older buildings, is difficult to remove and can complicate any floor installation if not handled properly. At National Flooring Removal, we specialize in efficient, odor-free mastic removal, using a process that keeps your space clean, safe, and ready for its new flooring.
Why Mastic Removal Matters
Mastic is a durable adhesive that was commonly used in past decades to secure tiles, linoleum, and other flooring materials. While effective at its job, it can pose challenges for modern renovations due to its strong bond and, sometimes, its age. Proper removal is key to ensuring a smooth, even surface that’s ready for new flooring. Here’s why mastic removal is an essential step:
- Ensures Proper Flooring Adhesion: Any leftover mastic can interfere with new flooring adhesives, causing issues with adhesion and durability.
- Prepares a Smooth Surface: Removing mastic eliminates bumps and residue, creating an ideal foundation for new installations.
- Improves Safety and Aesthetics: Some older mastic adhesives contain harmful compounds, making professional removal the best option to ensure safety.
Our Professional Mastic Removal Process
At National Flooring Removal, we’re committed to providing an effective, mess-free mastic removal service. Our team uses a non-odor removal solution along with a low-speed floor machine to lift and clear mastic without disturbing your indoor air quality or leaving behind strong smells.
1. Setting Up a Clean Workspace
To protect your space, we start by installing a splash guard along the walls. This keeps mastic residue and removal solutions contained, ensuring that walls, trim, and surrounding areas remain clean and unharmed. Our team takes extra care to prepare the area, so your property is left spotless when the job is done.
2. Using a Non-Odor Solution for Safe Removal
Traditional mastic removal solutions can come with harsh chemicals and strong odors. But at National Flooring Removal, we use a non-odor removal solution that’s safe for both the environment and your indoor air quality. Our solution is tough on mastic but gentle on the senses, making it ideal for spaces that need to remain occupied during the process or where ventilation is limited.
3. Low-Speed Floor Machine for Thorough, Gentle Removal
To get the job done right, we use a low-speed floor machine designed for steady, controlled mastic removal. This method provides an even, thorough clean without damaging the underlying surface. The low-speed machine’s precision allows us to carefully lift every bit of mastic, so your floor is fully prepared for the next step.
