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.

When learning how to test for asbestos in a popcorn ceiling, you have an option for a DIY job or to hire a professional tester.

If you suspect asbestos is present, do not disturb it. Instead of removal, materials in good condition can sometimes be encapsulated. It is recommended to have regular professional inspections to monitor the condition of the asbestos and prevent health risks from potential exposure.

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