asbestos tile

03/20/2005 12:51 AM 1958house

I have asbestos tile covering my basement floor. I know that water has come into the basement in the past, and may do so again. I think from the water and maybe temperature changes (?) the tile has begun to come up and crack/warp around the edges next to the wall. I had not been concerned about the floor, but lately the tiles seem to be more broken up and damaged by water. I think I may need to remove them. If I do it myself, what is the best way to do that? Do I need to have the tile tested? I know it is asbestos tile because there is an old box of "new" tiles still in the basement.
