        "text": "If your home was built before 1980, it is highly recommended to have your popcorn ceiling tested for asbestos before beginning any removal work. Asbestos was a common component in older building materials, and disturbing it can release hazardous fibers into the air. A professional asbestos testing service can determine its presence and advise on safe handling or removal procedures, which are crucial for safety.",
