Asbestos in Ceilings


Posted by Dennis N on August 15th, 1998 02:07 AM | Watch this Topic

My home has "popcorn/cottage cheese" on the ceilings which contains asbestos. I'd like to cover it up, paint it or remove it. What are the pros and cons of each and what is the health hazards involved with each option? I'm leaning toward covering it up, but am concerned that if I screw drywall into it, I'll disturb the asbestos and make a really big problem.
