Popcorn and stipple ceiling asbestos removal

Popcorn, acoustic and stipple ceilings are among the most common places asbestos turns up in older homes.

High-risk controls

How a ceiling job runs

  • Full enclosure

    The room is fully enclosed in 6-mil poly and held under negative air.

  • Full-face respirators

    Crews wear full-face powered air-purifying respirators and leave through a three-stage decontamination unit with a shower.

  • Wet removal

    The texture is wetted before and during removal. Nothing is dry-scraped.

  • Independent clearance

    An independent hygienist’s air test must read below 0.01 f/cc before the enclosure comes down.
