Rid your property of hazards with safe & thorough asbestos ceiling removal in Manhattan Beach CA
Many people don’t realize that those lumpy, bumpy textured acoustic ceilings found in many homes across the country may contain asbestos. In the past, these types of popcorn ceilings or cottage cheese ceilings were prized for their ability to dampen sound, conceal ceiling imperfections, and even inhibit the spread of fire due to the presence of asbestos. Now that we know asbestos is hazardous to human health, asbestos ceiling removal in Manhattan Beach CA is one of the top three most common asbestos removal projects done by homeowners.
How to Tell If You Need Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Manhattan Beach CA
In order to determine if you need popcorn ceiling removal, you’ll need to consider the following three points:
Is it really asbestos?
Professional asbestos testing can tell you if your popcorn ceiling contains dangerous asbestos fibers or harmless paper or Styrofoam filler. Then you’ll know for certain whether or not you need cottage cheese ceiling removal.
Is the ceiling damaged?
In general, your ceiling is not posing an active risk to your health as long as it is intact. It’s only when the material becomes damaged and begins releasing asbestos fibers that you must be concerned. Because these fibers will be drifting down from the ceiling, they can easily travel on air currents and land throughout your home, making quick acoustic ceiling removal vital.
Is it likely to become damaged?
If your popcorn ceiling could become damaged (during a remodeling project for example), you should get asbestos ceiling removal in Manhattan Beach CA right away to eliminate this risk.
Why Hire a Professional for Asbestos Ceiling Removal in Manhattan Beach CA
All asbestos ceiling removal in Manhattan Beach CA must be completed by a certified contractor, or else by homeowners and any friends they can recruit as unpaid volunteers. Considering that completing an asbestos ceiling removal in Manhattan Beach CA requires special equipment such as ventilators, safety clothing, and respirators, as well as meticulous attention to detail when sealing off the work area and containing the asbestos waste, you probably don’t want to handle it yourself and risk exposing yourself or others to contamination.

AQHI Inc. Gets the Job Done Right
At AQHI Inc., we take the safety of your property very seriously during an asbestos ceiling removal in Manhattan Beach CA. We abide by strict standards in our work to ensure:
Safe Removal
Most popcorn ceilings have been painted, making it difficult to follow our normal precaution of thoroughly wetting the asbestos-containing material to minimize fiber release during removal. Instead, we must focus even more closely on other safety protocols designed to make your acoustic ceiling removal a success, including a tightly sealed work zone, a state of the art ventilation and filtration system for the work zone, and a designated decontamination area for all workers and bagged waste leaving the work zone.
Authorized Disposal
Because asbestos is officially considered a hazardous waste material, special precautions must be taken to transport and dispose of it in compliance with all relevant laws. We outline disposal fees clearly in our initial bids for asbestos ceiling removal in Manhattan Beach CA so you can rest assured this step will be taken care of with no surprise fees.
Thorough Cleanup
We take pride in leaving the work site very clean after cottage cheese ceiling removal, following a strict regimen of wet and dry cleanup procedures to capture all the asbestos dust and fibers.
