remove asbestos yourself
Is there a safe way to remove asbestos laden popcorn ceiling yourself?
Probably a few, but I wouldn’t do it or advise it.
Asbestos in a general sense was pulled in 1975, but that doesn’t mean it was discontinued in supplies on hand, bu every contractor or vendor.
Beyond the legal ramifications still in existance for aesbestos, the safety issues in removal are valid. Sad that POPCORN was ever used to begin with, but certainly some connection with your local agencies governing this, and code enforcement, might be worth the effort.
People who do the removal wear more than just a paper dust mask, and for very good reasons. Aesbestos is an INVASIVE substance, and attaches to, and attacks the membranes in the lungs.
Oddly enough there are no laws regulating COVERING it.
One might be advised that it’s perfectly OK, to PAINT OVER any asbestos, in any form on a house; but I know of buildings loaded with it, that will likely sit until the next millenium because of the toxic factors involved.
