Asbestos - Yes or No?

[dan_89]

Probably hard to confirm via images but can anyone tell if this is asbestos? Pulling a bathroom apart and all tiled walls are lined with this sheeting. may have already ripped half of the sheeting off already..

House was built in 1981, brick veneer.

The age suggests yes , but when blown up larger its does not look like asbestos
although the thickness is right size for asbestos flooring.

Best to get some tested.

If it was built in 1981 I would assume it is asbestos, you could send some of to be tested and know for sure.

You may have a problem disposing of it as most dumps will assume it is asbestos, if you had the test results you could show them if it wasn't.

Get it tested, then have it removed by the safest method.
