When Should You Test for Asbestos?

If your home or building contains popcorn ceilings, textured finishes, old insulation, flooring such as sheet vinyl, linoleum, glued down carpet and even tile—testing is highly recommended—especially before starting renovations or demolition. Even if the materials appear undisturbed, wear and tear over time can release asbestos fibers into the air.

Popcorn Ceilings:

Textured Ceilings:

Asbestos Insulation
