Popcorn Ceilings Need to Be Removed ASAP
Popcorn Ceilings Are Nasty
Popcorn ceilings are nasty in all aspects, the design and health risks are both negative. These ceilings reigned American households from the 1950s till the 1980s because of how cheap they were to implement. It wasn’t until the Clean Air Act of 1978 that this ceiling, also called Stucco Ceiling, was banned because of the asbestos contained in them.
The Dangers Associated with Asbestos
You probably heard about Asbestos in some type of lawsuit commercial, and this is not hype, this is for good reason. Asbestos is both dangerous and DEADLY.
