Asbestos in Joint Compound
Joint compound manufactured before 1977 frequently contained chrysotile asbestos as a reinforcing agent. This material was used in millions of homes.
Sanding Risk
Sanding is specifically designed to create fine dust and asbestos fibers are invisible to the naked eye. Never sand pre-1980 drywall compound without first testing.
Renovation Warning
Any renovation in a pre-1980 home involving cutting, sanding, or removing drywall requires asbestos testing first. This includes kitchen and bathroom remodels.
Safe Testing and Removal
We collect samples using techniques that minimize fiber release and submit to an accredited laboratory. Licensed removal with proper containment if asbestos is confirmed.
