Operations Update - Coronavirus/COVID

Northwest Abatement Rental remains open with regular hours at our physical location, 8AM to 4PM, Monday through Friday. Our website will remain live throughout the outbreak 24/7, and for now we will continue to rent ship product orders in accordance with availability.

As the viral outbreak steadily worsens, please note that our product stock is being stretched extremely thin. We have more Edge-Guard temporary barrier and negative air systems being manufactured and on the way, however there is a two-week lead time until they are in stock and ready for rental.

However, Northwest Abatement Rental does currently stock Negative Air Scrubbers for rent here in our physical Bend, Oregon location. These do not filter out the miniscule size of a COVID virus particle, however they can be used to create and seal negative air spaces - vitally controlling the spread of COVID. These are going to be a vital piece of equipment in any hospital based quarantine, testing, or containment structure.

Although supplies are running thin, we also still have stock of a few units of Shockwave hospital-grade disinfectant. This is another product in which manufacturing time is growing by the day, so availability may change quickly.

We take this outbreak extremely seriously, and as such have taken actions to mitigate impacts that it may have on those around us. To limit any potential viral exposure and to promote social spacing, only one employee at a time is working at our physical location, while all others will telecommute and work from home on a daily basis. Furthermore, all products are subject to disinfection as rented and ordered. However, we cannot guarantee that products are not infected during shipping and handling, so we recommend all customers disinfect products upon delivery.
