You never know all the issues you’re gonna run into when you buy an old house…and some problems are definitely more serious than others.

A woman named Lora showed TikTok viewers the unexpected surprise she got when she was renovating the old house she bought.

The video shows Lora ripping up a section of carpet in her home…

And what she found underneath surprised her.

The text overlay on the video reads, “POV: Finding asbestos tile in your home renovation project.”

In the caption, Lora wrote, “A temporary setback that requires calling in some professionals.”

Nobody ever said home improvement was easy, friends…

Take a look at the video.
