What We Abate
Asbestos-containing wall & ceiling materials
Asbestos-Containing Plaster
Three-coat plaster systems (scratch coat, brown coat, finish coat) in pre-1940 Michigan homes frequently used asbestos as a reinforcing fiber. Friable when disturbed. Common in Detroit, Grosse Pointe, and older Macomb County homes.
Transite Board
Asbestos cement board used as a fire-resistant backing material around furnaces, fireplaces, and in utility rooms. Rigid, non-friable when intact. Requires careful intact removal.
Joint Compound (Drywall Mud)
Pre-1977 joint compound frequently contained chrysotile asbestos. Sanding or disturbing old drywall mud is a common source of fiber release during renovations.
Textured Wall & Ceiling Coatings
Spray-applied texture coatings on walls and ceilings — similar to popcorn ceiling material — were often asbestos-containing in pre-1980 applications.
