Asbestos Testing & Safety
Why Asbestos Matters
Popcorn ceilings installed before 1990 often contained asbestos fibers. While asbestos is safe when undisturbed, scraping or sanding a ceiling with asbestos can release harmful fibers into the air. Breathing these in over time may lead to serious health conditions, including:
Lung scarring (asbestosis)
Lung cancer
Mesothelioma (a rare cancer linked to asbestos exposure)
Because of these risks, asbestos testing is essential before starting removal.
Our Safety Protocol
Initial Assessment
If your home was built before 1990, we always recommend testing before disturbing the ceiling.
Professional Lab Testing
A small ceiling sample is safely collected and sent to a certified asbestos testing lab.
Results typically return within a few business days.
If No Asbestos is Found
We proceed with standard popcorn ceiling removal and resurfacing.
If Asbestos is Present
We do not remove it ourselves (for safety and legal compliance).
Instead, we connect you with a licensed asbestos abatement contractor who specializes in safe removal under strict regulations.
Once cleared, our team returns to skim coat, prime, and repaint your ceilings.
Why Hire Professionals?
❌ DIY removal is not safe if asbestos is present — even a small disturbance can release invisible fibers.
✅ Certified contractors follow strict Ontario safety standards, using containment, HEPA filtration, and protective equipment.
✅ You get peace of mind knowing your home and family are safe.
