Portland Abatement Services

Years ago, it was common practice to use asbestos in residential and commercial construction projects. But now that the public is more aware of the dangers of asbestos, safer building practices have been put into place to avoid exposing families and workers to the harmful effects of asbestos. If you work or reside in an older property, however, you may still be spending your days in an unsafe environment. So if you need asbestos abatement services in Oregon or SW Washington, call River City Restoration and let our licensed Abatement professionals handle the job! 

Once referred to as “the miracle mineral,” asbestos is comprised of virtually indestructible microscopic fibers. Although many items in your home may contain asbestos, they pose minimal risk so long as their materials are not deteriorated and fibers remain undisturbed. However, in the event asbestos fibers become airborne and are inhaled, exposure can lead to a form of cancer called mesothelioma, which irreparably damages the lungs and could lead to other health problems.

If your home or business has tested positive for asbestos contamination or you suspect an asbestos disturbance or “spill,” it is best to avoid the affected area(s) and contact River City Restoration immediately.
