Based in Tewksbury, MA, Morneault Environmental provides certified asbestos testing and removal services throughout Lowell, MA and its historic neighborhoods. From the mills by the Merrimack River to the Victorian homes of Belvidere and the Acre, many buildings in Lowell were built before 1978—an era when asbestos was heavily used in construction. Some asbestos-containing materials were banned starting in 1978, but others are still used today, which makes testing relevant for all types of properties, old or new. Whether you're renovating a home or managing a commercial upgrade, asbestos must be identified and removed safely and legally before starting work.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once praised for its insulation and fire-resistant properties. It's frequently found in floor tiles, siding, insulation, duct work, and pipe wrap—especially in buildings constructed before 1980. When these materials deteriorate or are disturbed, they release microscopic fibers into the air. Breathing in those fibers can lead to serious diseases, including lung scarring, mesothelioma, and cancer. In Lowell, where historic homes and decades-old factories remain common, asbestos contamination is an ever-present risk. Getting buildings tested before any renovation or demolition is not just smart—it's necessary for your safety.
Lowell’s industrial past means many homes, schools, and business properties still contain asbestos in walls, floors, ceilings, or piping. These materials pose no immediate risk until renovation, damage, or age causes them to break down—then the threat becomes very real. Property owners are required under Massachusetts and federal regulations to properly identify and abate asbestos, with heavy legal and financial consequences for noncompliance. We offer complete asbestos services including inspection, lab testing, removal, and safe disposal. Whether you're a landlord updating a triple-decker or a contractor converting a warehouse, Morneault Environmental ensures your site is toxin-free, safe, and meets all code requirements. Our team brings experience, professionalism, and local know-how to every job. We get projects done right—on time and fully compliant. Mesothelioma is a deadly form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. It can take 20–50 years to appear and often shows no early symptoms, making it even more dangerous. Abatement eliminates the source before it becomes a long-term threat, protecting the people inside your building and those working on it. Choosing trained professionals for removal is a sound investment in your long-term wellbeing.
