Popcorn Ceilings and Asbestos in Utah
Many Utah homes and commercial buildings built before 1979 have popcorn ceilings that contain asbestos, a material linked to cancer and respiratory illness. Although the EPA banned asbestos in 1978, builders were allowed to use remaining stock, so ceilings installed into the 1980s may still contain it. Because of these risks, it’s critical to have a licensed asbestos abatement contractor handle popcorn ceiling removal safely and in compliance with regulations.
At The Disaster Company, we have the training, experience, and certification to manage the process from start to finish. Our team works with accredited professionals to test ceilings for asbestos, sets up proper containment, and follows EPA-approved procedures for removal and disposal.
You don’t have to live with the dangers or the outdated look of a popcorn ceiling. With our expertise, your home or business can be transformed into a safer, cleaner environment with a modern finish that restores both comfort and value.
