Asbestos testing and surveys

The 1970s were Tigard’s biggest building decade, with the 1980s close behind. A house from either decade falls under Oregon’s survey rule when a contractor renovates it. An accredited inspector samples what you plan to disturb, and the lab results tell us what needs abatement.

Popcorn ceilings

A textured ceiling that tests positive is friable, so we remove it wet inside a negative pressure enclosure after a 10-day DEQ notice. If the lab finds no asbestos, the ceiling is ordinary drywall work.

Floors

One room can fall under two rules. Lifted whole and wet, vinyl tile remains nonfriable, while asbestos-backed sheet vinyl counts as friable whatever its state. Every layer is tested, and the positive ones come out before your installer starts.

Siding and roofing

Cement shingles, cement siding and asbestos roofing are nonfriable under DEQ’s rules while they stay intact. We take them off whole and wet after a five-day notice, without cutting or breaking them on the wall.

Duct and furnace insulation

Replacing an old furnace can disturb white paper tape on duct seams, duct insulation and furnace gaskets, all of which Metro lists for asbestos testing. Pipe insulation is one of DEQ’s examples of friable material.

Pre-demolition abatement

In February 2026 Tigard adopted a new code chapter so the city can keep issuing demolition permits. The asbestos steps come from the state: a whole-building survey, a DEQ notice and removal before the house comes down.

Asbestos testing and removal costs

More than 3 in every 10 Tigard homes were built before 1980, making asbestos a common issue in our community. Our price ranges cover hired labor, materials, containment, lab fees and disposal for typical jobs in Tigard, King City and Durham. Expect the low figure for a small job with easy access, and the top for bigger areas, occupied buildings, second stories or extra air tests.

Our process

01

Walk the project

Tell us what you plan to open, replace or tear down. That decides whether the survey covers one room or the whole building.

02

Test

An accredited inspector samples each suspect material, and the lab reports every layer separately.

03

Notify and prepare

We file DEQ’s friable or nonfriable notice, seal the work area and post the warning signs.

04

Remove and dispose

Wet removal, double bags, a label and a shipment form. The load then goes only to a landfill DEQ has approved for asbestos.

Tigard homes from the 1970s and 1980s

About a third of Tigard’s homes were built before 1980, and only 1 in 40 before 1950. Another 19% went up during the 1980s. Oregon’s survey line sits at 2004, not 1980, so a 1980s house is treated like a 1970s one when a contractor renovates it.

Age alone does not prove asbestos is there. Only a lab result does.

Frequently asked questions

Does a house built in 1985 need an asbestos survey?

It does when a contractor is going to renovate or demolish it, because Oregon’s cutoff is January 1, 2004. A 1985 house can still test clean; the survey is how you find out.

Can I take asbestos to a Metro transfer station?

No. Metro transfer stations cannot accept asbestos. A household can bring up to two 25-pound bags a day to Metro household hazardous waste. Households with more than 50 pounds, and all businesses, take it to a landfill permitted to accept asbestos. Metro names two: Hillsboro Landfill and the Wasco County Landfill in The Dalles.

Do I need a licensed abatement contractor for siding?

Intact cement siding is nonfriable, so a DEQ abatement license isn’t required. A CCB-licensed contractor can do it once DEQ has had the nonfriable notice for five days. Siding that is broken up or crumbling can become friable.

What does DEQ charge?

DEQ charges a notification fee with each notice, set by the rule in force when you file. The amount changes from year to year, so we confirm it when we file.
