A technician collects bulk samples of suspect building materials, analyzes them by polarized light microscopy inside The Mobile Lab, and hands you written results on-location, in as little as four hours.<\/p>\n<p>Timing matters here. Oregon DEQ requires an accredited inspector&#8217;s asbestos survey before any demolition or renovation of a commercial building, whatever its age, or a residential building built before January 1, 2004, and a copy of the survey report must be kept on-site during the work and provided to DEQ on request. We drive to job sites in Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie and Clackamas, so crews waiting on documentation are not also waiting on a courier.<\/p>\n<p>Restoration and remediation contractors, remodelers, property managers, real estate professionals, insurance adjusters and homeowners all rely on these results. AccuGuard was founded by restoration professional and former PuroClean Franchise Owner Ben Doebler, and this location is locally owned and dispatches The Mobile Lab from our Hillsboro office.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"col col-image col-12 col-md-6 scrollmagic from-right speed2 offset1\">\r\n          <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accuguard.com\/location-or-portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Asbestos-Top-Square.jpg\" class=\"\" alt=\"Asbestos Testing\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accuguard.com\/location-or-portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Asbestos-Top-Square.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.accuguard.com\/location-or-portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Asbestos-Top-Square-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.accuguard.com\/location-or-portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Asbestos-Top-Square-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.accuguard.com\/location-or-portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Asbestos-Top-Square-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.accuguard.com\/location-or-portland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Asbestos-Top-Square-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n          <\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"scrollmagic from-bottom wp-elements-1 acf-custom-block block-round-content-area has-background has-navy-background-color has-text-color has-white-color\" id=\"block_bc0e65b991374842dcdee04818ddd399\" style=\"\">\r\n\t  <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center tagline mb-xs scrollmagic from-bottom speed1 offset1 has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Results Delivered On-Location Within 4 Hours<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"block_f671fb28163ae34d22c66bea7f142ff4\" class=\" acf-custom-block block-inline-buttons has-align-center spacing-normal\" style=\"\"><div class=\" acf-custom-block block-cta-button scrollmagic from-bottom speed2 offset1 \" id=\"acf-block-PZkKnpdEogQCIva6IOzl\" style=\"\" >\r\n          <p class=\"has-text-align-\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accuguard.com\/accuguard-portland\/schedule-service\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"btn  btn-primary size-normal\">Schedule Service<\/a><\/p>\r\n          <\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t  <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\" acf-custom-block block-full-width-content has-image has-padding-small has-height-auto\" id=\"block_d6bd478804d1ac0a4f3c17896e59d5e9\" style=\"\"><div class=\"inner-blocks width-full\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\r\n\r\n<div id=\"block_6f35d6c7929be1d3b382de5d27c4e672\" class=\" acf-custom-block block-microsite-service-info-cards block-blocks\" style=\"\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center mb-l left-mobile scrollmagic from-bottom has-navy-color has-large-font-size\">Fast &amp; Accurate Asbestos Testing Options<\/h2><div class=\"row less-spacing equal-headlines\"><div class=\"col col-full-mobile scrollmagic from-left speed1 offset1\"><div id=\"acf-block-NtPEisQqkZRzfmDdSe6G\" class=\" acf-custom-block block-info-card\" style=\"\"><div class=\"content\"><p class=\"title equal-headline\">On-Site Testing &amp; Immediate Results With The Mobile Lab<\/p><p>The Mobile Lab brings the full expertise of a traditional environmental laboratory to your project site.
