What to Know About Popcorn Ceilings & Asbestos
Popcorn (acoustic) ceilings were popular in mid-century homes and buildings for their sound-absorbing and decorative qualities. However, these ceilings often contained asbestos, a mineral fiber known for its fire resistance and durability. The United States banned many asbestos-containing products in 1977, citing the cancer, respiratory illness, and other health risks it poses.
Just because your building has popcorn ceilings does not mean they are contaminated with asbestos. Generally, if builders installed your ceilings after 1980, you should not be at risk of asbestos contamination. The opposite is true for buildings with popcorn ceilings installed before the 80s. If you are aware your popcorn ceilings are 40+ years old, confirming whether they contain asbestos is advisable.

How Asbestos Can Get into the Air from Popcorn Ceilings
Asbestos-containing popcorn ceilings are much like drywall and joint compounds in that they do not typically pose risks unless disturbed. Unfortunately, disturbing popcorn ceilings and releasing asbestos fibers into your air is very easy. Cleaning, inserting screws or hooks into, or simply bumping your ceiling is enough to knock asbestos fibers loose.
Can You Remove Asbestos-Containing Popcorn Ceilings Yourself?
Removing asbestos-containing popcorn ceilings on your own is very risky. Taking on this project without the proper equipment and safety protocols could put you and those who live, work, or spend time inside your home or commercial building at risk of asbestos exposure.
