Existing stocks were still allowed to be sold, so it's possible to find asbestos in ceiling texture in homes built in the mid-1980s. Most popcorn acoustic textures contained asbestos up until it was banned in the 1970s. I would want to make sure that you don’t have a roof leak or some other problem that is causing an excess amount of moisture to reach the drywall. Drywall taping compounds are water-based, and typically about the only thing that will cause the tape to come loose is if the drywall gets wet. However, before making the repairs, I would want to explore why the tape is coming loose. Most paint stores, home centers and other retailers that handle drywall supplies will have the popcorn available in spray cans for touchup use, and it’s not as difficult as it might seem.
In the case of your acoustic “popcorn” ceiling texture, that would mean scraping off the popcorn in the affected areas, re-mudding the tape, then spraying on new texture. Any suggestions?Ī: Once the joint tape begins to come loose, there really is no good way of repairing it other than reattaching it with new joint compound. I have popcorn on my ceiling so I don't want to remove the tape and try repairing it that way that seems almost impossible. It is a very angled ceiling on one side, and of course the worst area where it is pulling away.
The only place that I’m not sure will look good in the great room. I have thought about putting up crown molding to cover the problem. The drywall tape that was used all over the house where the ceiling meets the walls is pulling away from the ceiling.
