What you need to know

Do not scrape first and ask questions later.

Some older textured ceiling materials may contain asbestos. Because appearance alone cannot confirm content, testing should happen before sanding, scraping, drilling, or removal.

When asbestos is confirmed, BioRestore develops a controlled abatement scope that protects adjoining rooms and prepares the ceiling for the next phase of the project.

Testing comes before disturbance.

A small renovation decision can become a much larger contamination problem when suspect ceiling material is disturbed without evaluation.

Straight answers

Common questions

Does every popcorn ceiling contain asbestos?

No. Age and appearance can make a ceiling suspect, but laboratory testing is needed for confirmation.

Can I paint over a popcorn ceiling?

The condition and planned work should be evaluated first, especially when future scraping, drilling, or removal is likely.

Can BioRestore remove the texture after a positive test?

Yes. BioRestore can develop and perform an appropriate abatement scope for confirmed asbestos-containing ceiling material.
