As a property owner in Riverside County, navigating the complexities of asbestos removal requires more than just a contractor—it requires a partner who understands the unique regulatory landscape of the Inland Empire. WDR Contracting is a premier, C-22 licensed asbestos abatement firm (CA License #946226) providing safe, efficient, and legal removal services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
Whether you are renovating a historic home in Riverside’s Mission Inn District, demolishing a structure in Corona, or managing a commercial facility in the Temecula Valley, we ensure your project stays on schedule and in total compliance with state and local laws.
Why Riverside County Requires Specialized Expertise
Riverside County is unique because it is governed by two different air quality districts depending on your location: the South Coast AQMD (for the western basin) and the Mojave Desert AQMD (for the desert regions).
Failure to file the proper notifications or follow the Rule 1403 work practices can result in massive fines and immediate “Stop Work” orders. WDR Contracting specializes in:
- Mandatory Rule 1403 Notifications: We handle the 10-day electronic filing process for you.
- Comprehensive Asbestos Surveys: Coordination with Certified Asbestos Consultants (CAC) to identify friable and non-friable materials before you disturb them.
- Hazardous Waste Logistics: Riverside County landfills do not accept asbestos. We manage the secure transport to EPA-approved disposal sites, providing you with a full waste manifest for your records.
Residential Asbestos Removal in Riverside
Older homes across the Inland Empire—from the mid-century builds in Palm Springs to the established neighborhoods of Moreno Valley—often contain asbestos in materials that seem harmless until they are broken or sanded.
We provide specialized removal for:
- Acoustic “Popcorn” Ceilings: Common in Inland Empire homes built before the late 1980s.
- HVAC Duct Insulation: Critical for home efficiency and air quality.
- Vinyl Floor Tile & Mastic: Often hidden under newer laminate or carpet.
- Transite Siding & Roofing: Durable but dangerous cement-asbestos panels.
Our residential teams prioritize “Zero-Fiber Leakage,” using negative air pressure systems and HEPA filtration to ensure your family’s home remains a safe environment during and after the abatement process.

Frequently Asked Questions (Riverside County FAQ)
1. Do I need an asbestos survey if my building is new?
Yes. Under South Coast AQMD Rule 1403, a thorough asbestos survey by a Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) is required prior to any demolition or renovation, regardless of the age of the structure. Even “new” materials can sometimes contain asbestos.
2. Can I take asbestos waste to a Riverside County landfill?
No. Riverside County Waste Resources landfills do not accept friable or non-friable asbestos. All asbestos-containing waste must be double-bagged, labeled, and transported by a registered hazardous waste hauler to a specialized facility. WDR Contracting manages this entire chain of custody for you.
3. What is the “10-Day Rule” for Riverside projects?
For any project involving the removal of more than 100 square feet of asbestos or any structural demolition, you must notify the AQMD at least 10 working days before work begins. We assist in filing these notifications to ensure your project starts legally.
4. How much does asbestos removal cost in Riverside?
Costs vary based on the “friability” (how easily it crumbles) of the material and the difficulty of containment. Removing popcorn ceilings is generally priced per square foot, while pipe insulation or roofing may be quoted by the linear foot or project scope. We offer free, transparent estimates for all Riverside County residents.
5. Is WDR Contracting licensed for work in California?
Yes. We are a fully licensed California contractor (#946226) with the specific C-22 Asbestos Abatement classification and DOSH registration required to perform this work legally.
