Somerville's housing stock is one of the oldest in Massachusetts — dense triple-deckers, pre-war multi-families, and aging commercial buildings where asbestos-containing materials were standard. We know these properties, the MassDEP notification process, and the ISD compliance requirements inside and out.
Whether you're a landlord managing a triple-decker, a homeowner renovating a pre-1960 kitchen, or a contractor navigating a commercial abatement in the Union Square corridor — we deliver licensed, fully documented abatement from start to closeout.

10-Day Notification Handled For You
Air Clearance & Full Documentation
From residential abatement in Somerville's triple-deckers to commercial projects in active renovation corridors, we handle every scope of licensed asbestos abatement and testing in this market. Each service is backed by full MassDEP compliance documentation and professional air clearance testing.

Somerville is our home base, but our licensed abatement team serves the surrounding Greater Boston communities where the same pre-war housing stock creates the same abatement needs — triple-deckers, older multi-families, and aging commercial buildings with asbestos-containing materials. We handle full MassDEP notification, abatement, and closeout documentation for property owners throughout our service area.
Asbestos Removal solutions can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Somerville's pre-1920 triple-deckers commonly contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, plaster, roofing materials, and asbestos cement siding. Pre-1978 homes may also have it in joint compound and textured coatings. A professional inspection before any renovation is the safest approach.
Massachusetts requires contractors to submit a 10-day notification to MassDEP before most abatement projects begin. This applies to renovation projects that disturb asbestos-containing materials above threshold quantities. We handle this notification process on behalf of our clients as part of every qualifying project.
Asbestos-containing materials in good condition that are not being disturbed generally do not release fibers. The risk increases significantly when materials are cut, drilled, broken, or renovated. If you're planning any renovation in a Somerville home built before 1980, testing before demolition is strongly recommended.
Most residential abatement projects in Somerville take one to three days depending on scope. A single-room floor tile removal might be completed in a day. A larger project involving pipe insulation across a triple-decker may take two to three days plus time for post-abatement air clearance testing.
Yes. Massachusetts law under 454 CMR 22.00 requires that asbestos abatement above certain thresholds be performed by a licensed contractor. All workers must hold a current DLS asbestos abatement license. Hiring an unlicensed contractor can result in regulatory violations and liability for the property owner.
After abatement is complete, an independent air clearance test confirms that fiber levels are below the safe threshold. We then deliver a full closeout documentation package including the disposal manifest and clearance report — required for MassDEP compliance and important for future property transactions.
