Asbestos Concerns Common in Des Moines Homes
Des Moines has approximately 70% of homes built before 1980. This makes asbestos a significant concern for homeowners, especially in established neighborhoods like Downtown, East Village, Sherman Hill, Beaverdale, South of Grand.
Des Moines's history also means many commercial buildings, schools, and older structures contain substantial asbestos materials requiring professional abatement.
Most Frequently Encountered Asbestos Materials in Des Moines:
- Popcorn ceilings (textured acoustic ceilings from 1950s-1980s)
- 9x9 inch vinyl floor tiles (especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements)
