If your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos, necessary safety procedures and precautions will be called for and the area should be properly sealed off to protect you and your loved ones from health dangers. Walls, flooring, furnishings, etc. throughout the entire work area need to be meticulously covered and protected since a significant amount of residue will be produced.
