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. 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.</p></div>

Is it safe to cover an asbestos popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-install-beadboard-over-popcorn-ceiling.htm">cost to install a beadboard ceiling</a> averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely.

Percolation Tests FAQs, answered by experts

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

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.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.

Costs depend on property size, test types, and additional services like mold sampling.

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.
