Do Mount Pleasant homes have asbestos in popcorn ceilings?
Yes, many Mount Pleasant homes built before the mid-1980s can have asbestos (chrysotile) mixed into their popcorn ceiling texture. Chrysotile was commonly added to ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, so if your home was built or last had ceilings finished during that window, the only way to know for certain is testing.
- Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before sanding, scraping, or otherwise disturbing suspect ceiling material.
- Removal is not mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings — testing before disturbance is the actual legal requirement.
- We coordinate third-party asbestos testing at cost, $300–$500, with no markup added. We do not perform licensed asbestos abatement ourselves.
- If results come back negative, we move straight into removal and finishing at our standard all-inclusive rates.
