"I have worked with hundreds of demolition contractors in my work as a project manager for a general Contractor. PAC is one of the best Iâ ve ever encountered. The workers were enthusiastic and kept a quick pace. They went above and beyond at every turn. They did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards too. Isabel was incredibly courteous and attentive to our needs. We will be hiring PAC for any future jobs we have in the area."

"You get what you pay for. The estimate we got was twice what the other asbestos abatement contractors quoted us. BUT...the others were not as thorough and knowledgeable as Mitch from AbateRight, so we went with them. And when the crew discovered that the laminate flooring in three of the rooms didn't have asbestos vinyl underneath, they reduced the cost of our project by more than 30%! I was in Miami, and the project was in Corvallis, OR, and there's no way I would have known one way or the other. Honesty! AbateRight people are knowledgable, meticulous, professional, and they did a fantastic job, from demo to cleanup."

"Everything went well from start to finish. Yoni and his team were nice, professional and on schedule. They cleaned the mold in our loft ceiling, installed proper ventilation, insulation, sheetrock and painted. The trim around the skylights looks perfect. The paint is perfect as well. They left our living room clean. We definitely recommend Accuracy U.S.A."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Portland, OR

Asbestos appears as long, thin, or curled mineral fibers that are not visible to the naked eye under normal conditions. Homes constructed before 1989 are more likely to contain this material, so a professional inspection is essential. Because asbestos identification requires specialized techniques, having a certified inspector assess your property is the safest way to confirm its presence and protect your family’s health.

Free asbestos testing services do not exist. You can purchase testing kits online for $30 per unit, and these kits include lab fees, return shipping, consultation, sampling media, and the final results. The results from a kit are less detailed and accurate than those provided by a certified asbestos testing professional. Since collecting a sample exposes you to harmful fibers, hiring a professional is essential to ensure safety and accurate testing.

Receiving asbestos test results takes one to seven days, but different labs offer varying turnaround times. When expedited processing is arranged, the laboratory completes analysis within 24 hours; standard processing requires up to two weeks. Hiring a certified professional ensures that all samples are collected correctly and results are provided without delay, safeguarding your home throughout the process.

Home insurance doesn't often cover asbestos testing and removal. Many policies have a clause called a "pollution exclusion," which means they do not cover indoor pollutants like asbestos. However, your insurance company might cover something like asbestos siding removal costs if it is released due to things beyond your control, such as storm damage.

If a DIY project or accident in your home releases harmful fibers, you must pay for the test and removal.

Yes, you can legally inspect and remove asbestos in your house as long as it's a single-family home and not a multi-family unit. However, the EPA strongly recommends hiring an asbestos abatement pro since testing can be dangerous.

Pros have all the right tools and safety equipment, and you risk breathing in the fibers by taking samples yourself. They also know how to collect samples and safely dispose of materials properly.

Asbestos encapsulation is a process that seals asbestos-containing materials with a protective barrier to prevent the release of harmful fibers. It serves as an alternative to complete removal when full abatement is not necessary. Encapsulation costs between $2 and $6 per square foot, offering a cost-effective option that contains asbestos safely when applied by a certified professional.
