The Hidden Danger of Popcorn Ceilings in Older Vancouver Homes
Popcorn ceilings were a popular ceiling finish used in homes across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland from the 1950s to the early 1990s. While they offered a textured, sound-dampening effect, many of these ceilings contain asbestos — a serious health hazard if disturbed.

Why Popcorn Ceilings Were Used + Where They Still Exist Today
Popcorn ceilings, also known as acoustic or textured ceilings, were a cost-effective solution widely used in both residential and commercial construction for decades. Builders favoured them because they were quick to apply, helped hide flaws in drywall or ceiling seams, and offered basic sound insulation - especially in high-traffic areas.
These ceilings are most commonly found in:
Homes built before 1990 — including living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and basements
Apartment buildings and rental suites — where they were used to dampen noise between units.
Commercial spaces — such as offices, small retail stores, and older waiting rooms
Public buildings — including schools, clinics, and community centres.
While they were popular for practical reasons, many of these ceilings were mixed with asbestos-containing materials.
Over time, they can deteriorate, crack, or release fibres during repairs or renovations - putting people at risk.
If your property has an older popcorn ceiling, professional testing and removal is the safest way to move forward.
Whether you’re a homeowner planning updates or a property manager preparing for tenant turnover or upgrades, Vancouver Asbestos Removal™ provides expert service with safety and compliance at the core of everything we do.
Our Abatement Process
1. Inspection & Lab Testing
We start with a professional site assessment and collect material samples. These are sent to a certified lab to confirm the presence and type of asbestos.
2. Containment & Preparation
We seal off affected areas using industry-standard containment systems and negative air pressure to protect surrounding spaces during removal.
3. Safe Removal & Disposal
Our licensed technicians remove asbestos safely, following WorkSafeBC protocols. Waste is double-bagged and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities.
4. Final Clearance & Report
A final inspection ensures the site is safe. We can arrange third-party air clearance testing and provide full documentation for your records or compliance.
Types of Asbestos-Containing Materials We Remove
Drywall and Joint Compound
In homes built before 1990, drywall and joint compound may contain asbestos. If walls are cut, sanded, or removed during renovations, asbestos fibers can be released into your home’s air. Our team is trained to safely handle and remove asbestos-containing drywall to keep your family safe.
Pipe Lagging and Pipe Insulation
Asbestos was commonly used to insulate pipes in older homes. The material, called pipe lagging, helps prevent heat loss but can release asbestos fibers if disturbed. We provide safe asbestos removal for pipe insulation to prevent exposure during plumbing repairs or renovations.
Black Mastic and Adhesives (Tile Mastic)
Black mastic is a glue often used to attach vinyl tiles and other flooring materials. Many older types of black mastic contain asbestos. Removing flooring without proper care can release harmful fibers. We use professional techniques to safely remove black mastic during asbestos removal projects in Vancouver.
Ceiling Tiles
Many ceiling tiles installed before the 1990s contain asbestos. If these tiles are cracked, damaged, or removed, asbestos dust can spread through your home. Our asbestos removal experts will assess and safely remove ceiling tiles to protect your indoor air quality.
Roofing and Siding (Including Asbestos Siding)
Asbestos was once added to roofing and siding products for durability. Today, old asbestos-containing roofing and siding materials can break down over time, releasing fibers. Our team safely removes and disposes of asbestos roofing and siding as part of our comprehensive asbestos removal services.
Other Materials We Remove
We also remove asbestos from other less common materials sometimes found in older Vancouver homes. These can include fiberboard, vermiculite insulation, boiler parging, asbestos duct tape, textured coatings, and more. If you are unsure about any material in your home, our asbestos removal experts can safely assess and handle it.
