Q: Are at-home lead tests accurate?

• <div><p>At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy.

Q: Why is lead paint toxic?

• <div><p>Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it&rsquo;s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. </p></div>

"We recently had a toilet and shower back up and leak into our bathroom and hallway. I had seen one of Legacy Restorations trucks at the gym before and gave them a call. They were quick to respond, communicated with us throughout the entire process so we knew what was going on. I highly recommend them. We are going to use them for our next bathroom remodel, hopefully this time just to upgrade not because of water damage! Thank you Legacy Restoration!"
