Asbestos is a group of heat- and fire-resistant minerals that were once common in building materials such as insulation, floor tiles, shingles, and ceiling textures—especially before 1980. These materials may still exist in many Lawrence properties, including old factories and homes. If asbestos is disturbed, tiny fibers can be released into the air and inhaled. Long-term exposure can lead to serious illnesses like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. In a city like Lawrence, where older buildings still stand proudly, it’s vital to identify and remove asbestos before renovations or demolitions expose anyone to harm.
In Lawrence, MA, many homes and buildings—especially those built before 1980—contain asbestos in hidden places like insulation, tiles, and siding. If these materials are damaged or removed during repairs or upgrades, they can release harmful fibers into the air. Asbestos isn’t just a health risk—it’s also a legal one. Massachusetts law requires certified professionals to handle and dispose of asbestos safely. Property owners can face major penalties for non-compliance. Morneault Environmental offers full-service asbestos inspections, testing, removals, and legal disposal—all in strict adherence to federal and state regulations.

Mesothelioma is one of the deadliest and most aggressive cancers linked to asbestos exposure. Caused by inhaling fiber particles, it often develops decades after contact. Because it has no early symptoms, the best defense is prevention. That’s why asbestos abatement is so important—it’s not just for compliance, it’s to protect everyone inside your walls.
