Massachusetts Asbestos & Mold Remediation Experts

Asbestos was commonly used in homes and commercial buildings built before the 1980s. It may be present in insulation, joint compound, floor tiles, vinyl tiles and the black mastic adhesive, popcorn ceilings, pipe wrap, siding, roofing materials, and boilers. Testing by a licensed professional is the only way to confirm asbestos content. NESM provides certified inspection and removal compliant with MA DEP, OSHA, and EPA regulations.

Common signs include musty odors, visible black or green spots, peeling paint, water stains, and worsening allergy symptoms. Mold often grows behind walls, under flooring, or in damp basements following water damage or high humidity. If you suspect mold, professional remediation prevents further spread and protects indoor air quality.

Vermiculite is a lightweight, pebble-like insulation used in many attics of homes built before the 1990s. A significant portion of vermiculite installed in U.S. homes came from the Libby, Montana mine and is likely contaminated with asbestos. Removal must be performed by a licensed contractor to prevent fiber release.

Costs vary based on the size of the project, type of material, and complexity of containment required. NESM offers free on-site estimates so you receive accurate pricing before any work begins. Massachusetts also has assistance programs that may help homeowners cover removal costs — we will share all options you qualify for.
