Our living room ceiling has popcorn texturing that has tested 5%
asbestos. We are aware of the wetting and scraping method of removal,
but we are still apprehensive about disturbing it and possibly tracking
it though out the house. Professional abatement services in our area are
very high priced for us right now.
I was wondering if covering the ceiling with thin dry wall (like 1/4
inch)and mudding and taping is a good alternative to removing the
texture. Has anyone done this themselves or hired a pro and had a good
result? I'm thinking that it might be difficult to maintain a flat even
surface due to the inconsistency of the texturing.
Thanks for any or experiences or insights.
