Frequently Asked Questions about Asbestos Removal Somerville MA in Somerville
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.
What types of asbestos-containing materials are common in Somerville homes?
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.
What is the MassDEP 10-day notification requirement for asbestos abatement in Massachusetts?
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.
Is asbestos in my home dangerous if it hasn't been disturbed?
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.
How long does a residential asbestos abatement project take in Somerville?
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.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos in Massachusetts?
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.
What happens after asbestos is removed from a Somerville property?
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.
