How it works

A Documented Process, First Look to Verified Result.

  1. 01 Licensed Inspection & Sampling A Massachusetts-licensed asbestos inspector surveys the building and collects samples from suspect materials. Lab results returned within 24–48 hours. Written inspection report provided.
  2. 02 MassDEP Notification & Abatement Plan We file required pre-notification with MassDEP under 453 CMR 6.00 and develop a site-specific abatement plan. Regulated projects require notification before work begins — Peniel manages this as part of standard project setup.
  3. 03 Negative-Pressure Containment Work areas are sealed with polyethylene sheeting and HEPA air scrubbers establish negative pressure — preventing any fiber migration outside the abatement zone.
  4. 04 Wet-Method Removal Asbestos-containing materials are wetted to suppress fiber release during removal. Abatement workers in full PPE complete removal in compliance with OSHA 1926.1101.
  5. 05 Sealed Disposal & Licensed Transport All ACM is double-bagged in labeled impermeable containers and transported to an approved Massachusetts facility. Chain-of-custody documentation provided.
  6. 06 Independent Clearance Air Monitoring Massachusetts 453 CMR 6.00 requires post-abatement air clearance monitoring by an independent industrial hygienist before re-occupancy. You receive written clearance documentation.

    A third-party industrial hygienist conducts post-abatement air sampling. You get written clearance before re-occupancy — not the abatement contractor verifying their own work.
  4. Prompt Scheduling — We Coordinate the Timeline
    We connect you with a licensed inspector quickly and coordinate lab turnaround so your renovation, closing, or demolition timeline stays on track.
  5. Full Documentation Package
    Inspection reports, lab results, abatement permits, and clearance certificates — everything a real estate closing, insurance claim, or building permit requires, all from one dispatch.

Common questions

Before You Call, the Honest Answers.

My Savoy triple-decker was renovated in the 2000s. Does it still have asbestos?

Likely yes. 2000s renovations in Savoy triple-deckers typically addressed cosmetic and systems work — kitchen, bath, flooring, paint — without necessarily removing the original pipe insulation in basements and between floors, or the 9×9 vinyl tiles under later flooring. 'Previously renovated' does not mean asbestos-free. A current licensed inspection is the only way to establish what's actually present.

Do Savoy triple-decker landlords have asbestos obligations?

Yes. Massachusetts landlords are required to maintain known ACM in good condition, disclose it to tenants under the state's lead/asbestos disclosure requirements, and properly abate it before renovation work that would disturb it. Savoy's ISD increasingly includes asbestos documentation requirements in major renovation permits for multi-family properties.

How does the MassDEP notification process work for Savoy projects?

For projects involving 3 SF or 3 LF or more of regulated ACM, Peniel files a written pre-notification with MassDEP before abatement begins. The notification includes the project address, the type and quantity of ACM, the licensed abatement contractor's information, and the planned start date. MassDEP may inspect the project site; Peniel manages all agency communication as part of standard project setup.

Can asbestos affect a Savoy real estate transaction?

Yes — and it frequently does in the triple-decker market. A positive inspection finding becomes a negotiation item in nearly every pre-1960 Savoy multi-family transaction. Sellers who conduct pre-listing surveys and provide abatement clearance documentation can avoid price reductions and delays. Peniel provides expedited inspection and abatement for time-sensitive Savoy closings.
