Do all popcorn ceilings have asbestos?

• <div><p>No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s.

What does asbestos do to humans?

• <div><p>When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.

Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.

Many homeowners may never have to test their homes for asbestos. Asbestos particles are only dangerous if they become airborne. If you plan to do construction or notice damage to piping, siding, or drywall, you should hire a specialist to test for asbestos.

If you plan to remodel your home or have any concerns, you should have your home tested for asbestos just to be safe.

When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma. Like many dangers in the house, asbestos isn’t easy to see when it could be causing serious damage. The amount of time exposed, combined with the person’s tolerance for asbestos inhalation and the amount inhaled, will all contribute to health problems.

Clear the area for access and inform the testing team about the building’s history and renovations.
