Titus is equipped to handle the worst of your mastic removal projects. We can remove mastics in small or large areas. If you want tan or black mastic removed we can handle the job. We can remove tan and black mastic down to the concrete slab by mechanical scrapping or we can sand remove all evidence of mastic down to bare concrete by a combination of scraping and grinding.On many projects, each room will present a new challenge in mastic removal. Older black mastics will require different removal techniques than the newer tan mastics. Carpet mastic presents a different set of challenges for removal. Many times black mastic contain asbestos and require special removal and disposal precautions.Complete Floor Mastic Removal is Always BestTitus always recommends complete mastic removal down to bare / clean concrete. Sometimes budget constraints do not allow for complete mastic removal. If black mastic or any other carpet or tile mastic cannot be completely removed then consultation with the flooring installer or project specifier is a must. Compatibility of the old and new mastics will determine the scope of floor mastic removal required. It is important to insure the long term compatibility of any mastic to be left on the floor with the new products to be installed. Floor mastic compatibility may not be issue immediately but can become a serious issue over just 2 or 3 years. Mastic compatibility can also be complicated by moisture vapor transmission through the concrete slab.Titus has seen projects where mastics have been skim coated with a cementitious material and then new mastic and tile applied. Again, everyone makes decisions based on the funds available and the intended duration of the finished tile or carpet project, but we feel that it is safe to say that this is at best a compromise to the best cast scenario, which of course be have all the old mastic removed and install the new mastic and new tile directly on bare concrete.Mastic RemovalBlack Mastic Removal, Carpet Mastic Removal, Thick Sticky Mastic RemovalHeadquartered in Atlanta GA Offices in Atlanta GA, Titusville FL, Frankfort IN, Cary NC, McAllister OK Floor Covering Mastic Removal for Atlanta , the Southeast, and NationwideVinyl Tile (VCT), Mastic, Quarry Tile, Carpet, or Epoxy Coatings Removal Many of our projects require the removal of vinyl tile (VCT), mastics, quarry tile, carpet, or epoxy coatings prior to the Blastrac® steel shot blasting.
