Popcorn Ceiling Asbestos Removal

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.
