In the coastal neighborhood of Magnolia in Gloucester, MA, our crew completed a full-scale transite siding abatement project at a residential property. The home’s exterior contained approximately 7,000 square feet of asbestos-containing transite siding, which required precision, compliance, and care to remove safely.
While asbestos siding was once prized for its durability and fire resistance, it now presents a serious health hazard when disturbed. That’s where we come in — using advanced containment techniques and regulated disposal methods to make older homes safer and renovation-ready.
How We Approach Transite Siding Abatement
Every abatement project starts with planning and safety. Before work began, we submitted the required ten-day notification form (ANF-001) to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) and coordinated independent third-party air clearance testing.
Our team installed six feet of ground covering, established controlled work zones, and followed all MassDLS, DEP, and OSHA regulations to ensure the safe removal, packaging, and disposal of asbestos waste.
We used specialized lift equipment to access upper areas, and our certified technicians carefully detached each transite panel without breakage — minimizing fiber release and protecting the surrounding environment.
Protecting People, Property, and the Environment from Asbestos
As part of our standard protocol, all removed materials were properly packaged, labeled, and manifested for transport to a licensed asbestos disposal facility. Every step was documented to maintain full compliance and peace of mind for the homeowner.
This project reflects our broader mission: helping New England homeowners modernize their properties while maintaining the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility.
