Asbestos Removal in Ontario, CA — MoldRx

Vetted Asbestos Removal Specialists Serving Ontario and the West San Bernardino County

If you've discovered asbestos in your Ontario home or commercial property, you're probably feeling a mix of concern and confusion. That's completely understandable. Asbestos isn't something you can ignore, but it's also not something you should panic about—as long as you handle it properly. With Ontario's rich history of mid-century development, asbestos is more common here than many homeowners realize. The key is working with experienced, licensed professionals who know exactly how to remove it safely.

Why Ontario Properties Need Asbestos Removal

Ontario's development history tells an important story about asbestos risk. The city was incorporated in 1891, but the real building boom came between the 1940s and 1970s—right when asbestos was considered a miracle building material. Today, Ontario has a population of approximately 175,000, and a significant portion of the housing stock dates back to this high-asbestos era.

Homes built during Ontario's post-war expansion commonly contain asbestos in places you might not expect: popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, pipe insulation, roof shingles, and even the adhesive under flooring. The median home construction year in Ontario falls somewhere in the late 1960s to early 1970s, which means many properties are now 50-60 years old—the age when renovations become necessary and asbestos becomes a real concern.

Ontario's semi-arid Mediterranean climate, with summer temperatures reaching the mid-90s to low 100s and mild winters in the mid-40s to mid-60s, doesn't directly cause asbestos problems. But the wear and tear from decades of temperature fluctuations, combined with aging HVAC systems that may contain asbestos components, creates situations where disturbance becomes more likely. Whether you're updating an old heating system or finally tackling that bathroom remodel, testing for asbestos before any work begins isn't just smart—it's required by California law for pre-1980 structures.

The asbestos likelihood in Ontario is high to very high for homes built before 1980. That doesn't mean every older home has asbestos, but it does mean you should assume it might until proven otherwise.

Our Asbestos Removal Process in Ontario

When you contact MoldRx about asbestos in your Ontario property, here's what happens:

1. Assessment and Testing Before any removal work begins, we need to know exactly what we're dealing with. If you haven't already had testing done, our vetted professionals will collect samples following EPA protocols and send them to an accredited lab. You'll get clear results and an honest explanation of what they mean.

2. Project Planning and Permits Asbestos removal in California isn't something you can just start doing. Our specialists handle all the required notifications to South Coast AQMD under Rule 1403, obtain necessary permits, and develop a detailed abatement plan. This isn't red tape for the sake of red tape—it protects you, your neighbors, and the workers.

3. Containment and Removal Licensed C-22 contractors set up proper containment with negative air pressure to prevent any fibers from escaping the work area. They wear appropriate protective equipment and follow Cal/OSHA regulations to the letter. The asbestos-containing materials are carefully removed using wet methods that minimize fiber release.

4. Disposal and Clearance Asbestos waste doesn't go in the regular trash. It's sealed in labeled containers and transported to approved disposal facilities. After removal, air monitoring confirms the area is safe for reoccupation. You'll receive documentation of the entire process—important for your records and any future property transactions.

What to Expect

• Clear Communication: You'll know what's happening at every stage. No surprises, no confusing jargon, no runaround.

• Proper Licensing and Compliance: Every asbestos removal job is handled by professionals with valid C-22 Asbestos Abatement licenses. This isn't optional—it's California law, and it exists to protect you.

• Thorough Documentation: You'll receive complete records of testing, removal, and disposal. This protects you legally and provides peace of mind for future buyers if you ever sell.

• Honest Assessment: If testing shows you don't have asbestos, we'll tell you. If the asbestos you have is in good condition and doesn't need immediate removal, we'll explain your options. We're not here to create work that isn't necessary.
