Asbestos Concerns Common in Charleston Homes
Charleston has approximately 65% of homes built before 1980. This makes asbestos a significant concern for homeowners, especially in established neighborhoods like Downtown, French Quarter, Harleston Village, Wagener Terrace, North Central.
Charleston's history also means many commercial buildings, schools, and older structures contain substantial asbestos materials requiring professional abatement.
Most Frequently Encountered Asbestos Materials in Charleston:
- Popcorn ceilings (textured acoustic ceilings from 1950s-1980s)
- 9x9 inch vinyl floor tiles (especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements)
- Pipe insulation (white, chalky wrap on heating pipes—very common in Charleston's older homes)
- Boiler insulation (Charleston's older heating systems often contain asbestos)
- Vermiculite attic insulation (especially Zonolite brand)
- Cement-asbestos siding and roof shingles
- Plaster walls with asbestos-bearing texture
- HVAC duct insulation (corrugated air-cell or silver-tape wrapped)
