Asbestos in Detroit homes

Detroit's housing stock is predominantly pre-1960, with significant concentrations of pre-1940 construction in neighborhoods like Corktown, Woodbridge, Boston-Edison, and Indian Village. These homes contain multiple generations of asbestos-era materials. The most common materials we find in Detroit are 9×9 vinyl asbestos floor tile (often under multiple layers of flooring), pipe insulation on steam and hot-water heating systems, and popcorn ceiling texture applied through the 1970s. Vermiculite attic insulation is also common in homes built or renovated between 1950 and 1985.
