Popcorn ceilings — also called acoustic or textured ceilings — were installed in millions of American homes between the 1950s and 1980s. In Springfield, homes built during this era frequently have original popcorn ceilings that may contain asbestos. When disturbed during renovation or repair, these ceilings can release dangerous airborne fibers.

Approximately 70% of Springfield's homes were built before 1980 — making popcorn ceiling asbestos a widespread concern in neighborhoods including North End, Warder Park, Ridgewood, Homes Park, downtown Springfield. If your ceiling was installed before 1978 (when the EPA restricted asbestos in spray-applied materials), there is a meaningful risk it contains asbestos.
Intact popcorn ceilings that are not disturbed pose lower immediate risk. However, scraping, sanding, painting, or even water damage can release fibers. Ohio law requires testing and professional abatement before any popcorn ceiling removal on pre-1980 properties.
