Pictures and what we see on tv do not do it justice of the reality when you show up on site, it truly is very moving and sobering.
We are here for a job to inspect the environmental hazards of the properties in Phoenix, Medford and Talent, OR. We can if not careful become numb to the loss of dreams and hopes that we are inspecting and walking on. #pheonixwillriseagain
Advantage Environmental has gone mobile! Our team is working to locate hazardous materials due to the damage wildfires have caused in the homes of Talent, OR
Remember to stay safe out there during these trying times, and limit your outdoor exposure as much as possible.
“Asbestos has long been used in construction. Homes and other buildings that predate the 1980s are likely to contain asbestos. Unless an older building has been inspected for asbestos and the mineral has been abated by professionals, it is likely to still contain asbestos. Asbestos may be present in insulation, wall compounds, flooring and ceiling tiles, roofing materials, and furnaces.[2] When firefighters go into buildings with asbestos, they are at risk of inhaling tiny asbestos fibers which become airborne as the fire destroys the building materials.”

“In its counterargument to the states’ Attorneys General, the EPA stated that it did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in its denial of the request to review more data, and that it had reviewed sufficient information on mesothelioma, asbestos and other pertinent factors from multiple sources. The conflict is occurring at the same time that the agency is updating its Risk Evaluation of asbestos, and particularly of chrysotile asbestos.”

As our on-site inspector, Sid, continues work in Talent and Phoenix near Medford, OR, he states, "I commonly see little porcelain collectibles found sitting on the driveways and on the foundations of some homes. There are also a lot of handmade signs placed of hope and encouragement around the residences."
"The people here are so positive and caring despite their losses. Many residents say they only had 5-8 minutes to evacuate their homes. One lady I spoke to who is an artist whom lost everything. It was an emotional experience when she shared her story. Even now, two days later, I’m still feeling the effects of her story."
"We are constantly being thanked for what we are doing, but I really feel we should be thanking them for allowing us to be of service to them."
All of us at Advantage Environmental would like to say, "We are proud of the people in Talent and Phoenix, Oregon, for coming together during this tragic time in their lives and we will be praying for their future."
While working at the residential burn sites in Phoenix, Oregon, this week, Sid Carter of Advantage Environmental stated,
"This has really impacted me. Being surrounded by destruction all day long wears on you mentally. Then all of a sudden you see things like the first photo and of new life springing up and it brings this sense of joy to your heart. They are a reminder and promises of new beginnings ahead."
Thank you to all the men and woman that have served🇺🇸
Before people knew the hazards of certain materials from the 60s and 70s..these old ads will make you laugh #HappyThursday #asbestosawareness
