Re: Popcorn Ceilings

[Guest guest]

You can submit a sample to a lab to find out for sure. To take a

sample:

Using a spray bottle, thoroughly wet three or four small ceiling areas

with water mixed with a few drops of liquid detergent.

With a putty knife, carefully scrape about one square inch of " popcorn "

from each area into a sealable plastic bag.

Then look in the yellow pages under: " Asbestos -- Consulting and

Testing. " If there is not one listed you might try contacting some

local Building Contractors/Construction Companies.

If the test comes back positive for asbestos then you have to contact

professionals for removal. You can find them in the yellow pages

under " Asbestos - Removal Services " .

Hope that helps

Thank you for the info. As soon as I figure out how old this house is I will

proceed accordingly.

Thanks!!!

This site has some information. You can also try calling in a

contractor. Just ask them if they can check it with no charge to

you. A lot of them will check it at no charge, at least where I live.
