Dust and asbestos contamination can pose a serious health risk. That is why letting the expert do it is much better – economical and health-wise. Floors, furniture, kitchenware, and clothing are the most vulnerable when doing popcorn ceiling removal. The dust contaminates the air and can float for a couple of minutes before settling on to surfaces. Using drop cloths and securing them with tapes and clips can help stop the spread and contamination of dust and asbestos. Secondly, it is not enough to scrape off the texture from the surface. Using tools that can scrape off completely the underlying ceiling surfaces can help remove the popcorn ceiling completely leaving you a smooth texture of your ceiling.

At one point, you may have scratched the surface too rough that it leaves a hole or cracks. Remember that it is important not to leave this behind and let it sit for years. The tendency of leaving these repairable surfaces may pose a risk and can even cost you more in the long run. Re-patching holes and repainting them to maintain the smooth surface is important, too!
