"I knew removing the popcorn ceiling with asbestos would be expensive given all the hazardous material fees, HEPA filtration, protective gear the workers wear, and plastic sheeting to cover the walls and floor. They were right at the same price point as their competitors. The Head Guy Nate was extremely helpful on the phone giving me very down to earth advice and being completely no pressure. I appreciated how quickly they worked me into the schedule and that they even came out on a Saturday to finish the job since this is their busy season. The workers that came to the house were very knowledgeable with regards to all my detailed questions. They were courteous and very speedy Saturday getting the job done after they had prepped the room on Friday. I will be hiring them to come do the other room in our basement in a few months. I highly recommend that anyone looking for asbestos abatement use these guys."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

If you know your popcorn ceiling has asbestos, you should not attempt to clean it. It simply is not possible to learn how to clean asbestos safely without potentially releasing microscopic fibers into the air that could lead to severe illness in the future. Avoid disturbing or cleaning the ceiling until the asbestos removal company can get rid of the popcorn ceiling.

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.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of asbestos pipe insulation in certain applications in 1975. It released further bans in 1989 and 2019. While asbestos pipe insulation was common from the 1930s to 1970s, its use fell off after the 1970s due to public concern and the EPA's actions.

When asbestos damages the lungs it causes a condition called “asbestosis” which, unfortunately, can’t be cured once it’s damaged the lungs. This condition is chronic and any treatment is undertaken to improve quality of life. This usually involves quitting smoking, being prescribed oxygen, and undergoing lung rehab. Severe cases usually require a lung transplant.
