Should I remove or cover a popcorn ceiling in Waterloo if the test says it has asbestos?
If your Waterloo ceiling tests positive, the least risky choice is often not to disturb it. An intact, undamaged ceiling releases little fibre, so many homeowners keep it sealed and painted rather than scraped. Removal is better when the ceiling is flaking, water-damaged, or you are renovating. Test first for $300-$500, usually in homes built before 1980 or into the mid-1980s. Removal only proceeds on a negative test. Details at kwpopcornceilingremoval.ca. Waterloo popcorn ceiling removal · Ontario asbestos guide · See our Google reviews
