Based in Tewksbury, MA, Morneault Environmental provides certified asbestos testing and removal throughout South Lancaster and neighboring towns. With its rich historical character and older structures—including properties near Atlantic Union College and Main Street—South Lancaster has many buildings constructed before 1978. These structures likely contain asbestos in materials like insulation, tiles, and siding. While some asbestos products were banned in early 1978, others still remain in use today, which is why testing is essential for any renovation or demolition project—no matter the building’s age. Safe, professional asbestos removal is vital to maintaining healthy spaces and complying with local, state, and federal regulations.

Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring minerals once widely used in building materials for their fire resistance and strength. It was commonly added to insulation, ceiling and floor tiles, pipe wrap, and siding—especially in homes and buildings built before 1980. When disturbed during construction or wear and tear, asbestos fibers can be released into the air and inhaled without notice. Those fibers can cause serious lung conditions over time, including mesothelioma—a rare, deadly cancer—and other respiratory diseases. In South Lancaster, where many buildings still retain their historical charm, undiscovered asbestos may exist and pose hidden health threats. That’s why professional asbestos testing is necessary before making any changes to older structures.
In South Lancaster, many homes and facilities built before 1980 still contain hidden asbestos in walls, ceilings, flooring, and ducts. If left undisturbed, these materials may not pose an immediate risk. But renovations, storm damage, or even simple wear over time can release asbestos fibers into the air—endangering your health and exposing you to legal liabilities. Businesses also face regulatory risks, as improper handling during construction or upgrades can lead to penalties and project delays. We provide thorough inspections, lab testing, and certified removal services that follow strict federal and Massachusetts safety protocols. Our expert technicians understand South Lancaster’s older building stock and tailor each project to address specific material risks and building layouts. From churches and schools to neighborhood homes, we deliver effective, regulation-compliant solutions that create safe, usable spaces for your family or clients. Mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos exposure, is often fatal and irreversible once diagnosed. Because symptoms may not appear for decades, early prevention through abatement is the most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones. Allowing asbestos to remain hidden increases long-term risks. With Morneault Environmental, you get peace of mind knowing we’ve removed the danger safely and completely.
