How Does Wallpaper Hide Hazardous Materials?
Wallpaper can easily conceal what’s beneath. Moisture trapped behind layers creates the perfect conditions for mold, while older adhesives and backing materials may contain asbestos. These dangers often go unnoticed because they stay hidden until the surface is disturbed.
That’s the real risk in peeling it off yourself. Pulling away wallpaper without proper precautions can release harmful particles into the air, turning a cosmetic update into a serious health hazard.
Our certified team can confirm the presence of these materials and, if found, remove them safely using containment protocols, specialized equipment, and regulated disposal practices.

Can Stripping Wallpaper Release Asbestos Fibers?
Most of the time, we associate asbestos with insulation or ceiling tiles, not wallpaper. However, asbestos fibers can exist within older wallpaper backing or in the adhesive used to install it.
The concept of friability is relevant to stripping the wallpaper in this context. Materials that are friable can be easily crumbled by hand, releasing asbestos fibers. Even if the wallpaper or adhesive appears stable, the mechanical action of scraping or tearing can break it down enough to make those fibers airborne. Performing the removal slowly or extra carefully wouldn’t make a difference if the material becomes friable in the process.
That’s why professional help is essential. Our certified asbestos abatement contractors have the training, equipment, and protective protocols to handle potential asbestos-containing materials safely. We know how to assess risk, contain the area, and remove wallpaper without releasing dangerous fibers into your home. Attempting this on your own, even with caution, can still expose you and your family to serious health hazards.
