Asbestos is a natural mineral once praised for its fireproof and insulating qualities. It was widely used in ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, roofing shingles, and more—especially in homes built before 1980. But when disturbed, asbestos fibers can enter the air, where they may be unknowingly inhaled. Over time, breathing in these fibers can cause severe illness. Mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure, often appears decades later. West Medford’s many older structures hide this risk within walls, attics, and basements. That’s why asbestos testing and removal by professionals is the only safe path when renovating or demolishing buildings from this era.
West Medford homes, schools, and commercial buildings—many built before modern safety standards—often contain aging asbestos materials. These materials may be hidden in floor tiling, plaster, or duct systems. While safe if undisturbed, renovations, leaks, or accidental damage can release harmful fibers into the air. It's vital for property owners to comply with the law by ensuring proper asbestos testing and abatement. At Morneault Environmental, we specialize in testing and removing asbestos safely, efficiently, and with full regulatory compliance. We bring experience working in similar neighborhoods and structures across Massachusetts. Whether you're refinancing, remodeling, or preparing to sell, our team makes sure the job is done right—protecting your home, business, and loved ones. Mesothelioma is one of the most serious health risks linked to asbestos exposure. It's a terminal cancer most commonly caused by inhaling asbestos over time. There’s no cure, which makes proactive removal and testing so vital. Our asbestos abatement protects lives while giving you peace of mind.

Dealing with insurance during an asbestos issue can feel overwhelming. At Morneault Environmental, we help handle the documentation and talk directly with your provider to keep things moving. Because we serve the West Medford area often, we’re familiar with local insurance expectations. Whether you own a multi-family building or a single residence, we work to keep your project on track. Banks or mortgage lenders often require proof of asbestos abatement before allowing a refinance or sale of a property. We provide verified reports and clearance letters for these cases. In another example, insurance could help cover removal costs if asbestos is exposed due to a basement flood or tree fall. We’ve worked with clients across the region to make the process as smooth as possible.
