Asbestos is a natural mineral once widely used in construction for its strength and heat resistance. It was especially common in older homes in insulation, plaster, roof shingles, tiles, and pipe coverings. The danger arises when these materials deteriorate or are disrupted, releasing microscopic fibers into the air that can be inhaled. Prolonged exposure to asbestos can cause life-threatening illnesses like mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, along with lung scarring and other respiratory conditions. Harvard's charming old homes and historic buildings could still contain this hazard. That's why testing and safe removal are so important for your health and legal compliance during any home improvement.
Countless homes and businesses in Harvard, MA were built before asbestos regulations took effect—which means pipe coverings, siding, tiles, or insulation may still contain this dangerous substance. Undisturbed, it might seem safe, but when broken open during renovations or weather damage, it becomes a serious health and legal concern. Both Massachusetts and federal law require certified removal before proceeding with any remodeling, sale, or demolition. At Morneault Environmental, we provide certified asbestos inspection, testing, removal, and legal documentation that meet or exceed all safety regulations. We're familiar with Harvard’s older architecture and historic zones, so we know how to work safely and efficiently without disrupting the charm of your property. Our trained team ensures your project stays compliant, safe, and on schedule from start to finish. Mesothelioma is a devastating illness almost exclusively caused by inhaling airborne asbestos fibers. This aggressive cancer can take decades to appear, making silent exposure incredibly dangerous. That’s why we advocate for early detection and abatement—to protect your health, your family's future, and everyone who enters your property.
