Asbestos drywall joint compound and plaster removal
In buildings from before 1990, drywall joint compound, texture coats and plaster can contain asbestos. It is safe while intact; sanding, cutting or demolishing it releases fibres.
How it’s handled
Sampled area by area, removed to the risk level
Sampling
Drywall mud and plaster are not assumed to be the same throughout. A hygienist samples each area unless it was clearly installed at one time.
Small areas
Moderate-risk work in a barricaded area or a small enclosure (up to 9.3 m²) under HEPA exhaust.
Larger areas and whole rooms
High-risk work under full enclosure.
