Asbestos Concerns Common in Tacoma Homes

Tacoma has approximately 70% of homes built before 1980. This makes asbestos a significant concern for homeowners, especially in established neighborhoods like Downtown, North End, Stadium District, Hilltop, Old Town.

Tacoma's history also means many commercial buildings, schools, and older structures contain substantial asbestos materials requiring professional abatement.

Most Frequently Encountered Asbestos Materials in Tacoma:

• 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 Tacoma's older homes)
• Boiler insulation (Tacoma's older heating systems often contain asbestos)
