Asbestos Concerns Common in San Francisco Homes
San Francisco has approximately 85% of homes built before 1980. This makes asbestos a significant concern for homeowners, especially in established neighborhoods like Mission, Castro, Haight, Pacific Heights, Marina.
San Francisco's history also means many commercial buildings, schools, and older structures contain substantial asbestos materials requiring professional abatement.
Most Frequently Encountered Asbestos Materials in San Francisco:
- Popcorn ceilings (textured acoustic ceilings from 1950s-1980s)
- 9x9 inch vinyl floor tiles (especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements)
- Pipe insulation (white, chalky wrap on heating pipes—very common in San Francisco's older homes)
- Boiler insulation (San Francisco's older heating systems often contain asbestos)

- Cement-asbestos siding and roof shingles
- Plaster walls with asbestos-bearing texture
