Morneault Environmental is a veteran-owned environmental services company proudly based in Tewksbury, MA. We specialize in asbestos testing, removal, and demolition prep for commercial and residential properties throughout the Waltham area. Our founder, Tom Morneault, brings years of military experience as a combat engineer—skills he’s translated into safe, efficient environmental remediation work. We’re driven by one mission: to make your space safer. Waltham is full of charm—historic homes, revitalized buildings, and longtime businesses—but asbestos can turn a renovation dream into a high-risk situation. From Brandeis-adjacent properties to old Victorians near Moody Street, we provide prompt, professional service that puts safety first and keeps your project moving.

Asbestos is a natural mineral that was once widely used in construction materials for its fire resistance and durability. It’s found in insulation, flooring, walls, ceilings, and siding—especially in homes and buildings built before 1980. When these materials are disturbed, asbestos fibers become airborne and can be easily inhaled. Inhaling asbestos over a period of time can cause severe health conditions, including mesothelioma, a rare lung cancer tied directly to asbestos exposure. In Waltham—where many properties date back to the early 1900s—asbestos may be hiding in plain sight. Testing and proper abatement are essential steps in protecting you, your family, or your building’s occupants.

Waltham is full of old homes, warehouses, and buildings that were constructed before modern regulations on asbestos. Floor tiles, attic insulation, HVAC ducts, even popcorn ceilings—these are all hotspots for hidden asbestos. For homeowners and business owners alike, disturbing these materials without testing is extremely risky. Equally important, federal and Massachusetts regulations demand asbestos be managed legally—which includes professional removal before selling, renovating, or demolishing. At Morneault Environmental, we perform licensed asbestos testing, inspection, and remediation with full regulatory compliance. Whether you're near Waltham High School or closer to Prospect Hill Park, we understand the local architecture and how to handle it. Our team delivers high-performance service with minimal disruption—keeping you safe and projects on schedule. Mesothelioma is one of the most devastating diseases related to asbestos and is nearly always fatal. It can take decades to develop and rarely shows symptoms early. By professionally removing asbestos today, you’re not just protecting those living or working in the space now—but for generations to come.
