Based in Tewksbury, MA, Morneault Environmental provides certified asbestos testing and removal services to residents of Maynard, MA and the surrounding communities. Maynard is known for its historic downtown, charming mill buildings, and older residential neighborhoods—many of which include structures built before 1978. These properties are likely to contain materials made with asbestos, especially in insulation, tiles, and roofing. While some asbestos-containing materials were banned starting in 1978, others are still legally used in construction today, making testing critical, even in newer buildings. Whether you're renovating or demolishing, it's essential to identify and deal with asbestos properly to stay safe and compliant.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction of homes and commercial structures because of its fire resistance and durability. It’s often found in insulation, ceilings, pipe wrap, and floor tiles — especially in buildings erected prior to 1980. When these materials are disturbed, microscopic asbestos fibers can be released into the air. Inhaled asbestos fibers can lead to deadly diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other severe lung conditions. With so many of Maynard’s properties dating back decades, asbestos can hide behind the walls of homes and storefronts until construction exposes it. If you suspect asbestos, the safest choice is immediate testing and removal by certified professionals.
Maynard's mix of historic mills and classic New England homes means asbestos is a common hidden danger. Floor tiling, duct insulation, plaster, and roof shingles from earlier construction eras often contain asbestos. These materials pose a health risk once disturbed. Local and federal regulations now mandate asbestos abatement before renovations or demolitions can begin, and failure to follow these laws can stall projects and expose people to danger. At Morneault Environmental, we provide licensed asbestos inspections, full removal, and safe disposal in accordance with state and federal guidelines. We understand the quirks of Maynard’s older buildings and how best to approach each job, whether it’s restoring a home on Main Street or renovating a commercial site. You can count on our team to deliver accurate assessments, safe cleanup, and peace of mind. Mesothelioma is a terminal cancer caused by prolonged asbestos exposure. It affects the lining of the lungs and is often diagnosed decades after contact. Because early symptoms are vague or absent, asbestos exposure today could mean serious illness years down the road. That’s why proactive abatement is critical—it’s not just about compliance, it’s about saving lives.

We help Maynard homeowners and property managers communicate with their insurance provider to ensure accurate documentation and fast approval.
