"Abatement and Remediation are not for the weak or weary - whether managing a personal or professional project, proper containment practices and efforts are essential. I will forever recommend and promote All Clear Environmental - a family-run business with hands-on customer relations. Larry Enos and his son, Beckett, put forth great effort to communicate, assess, and manage the process in good faith. All Clear's team of Rigo et al, handled the physical abatement and remediation, in our home. Rigo and his team made us feel 100% safe, confident, and secure throughout each stage - which was no easy feat with children and pets, in a home. And while there are no accolades for being second-round mold recipients, we hit the jackpot in working with All Clear. We have worked with other companies only to be left with poor communication, a tendency to be overcharged, and dishonesty. Beckett was available almost 24/7 to answer questions via text and live calls. When I felt doubt, Beckett made time to discuss alternative avenues and ensure our best interests were at the forefront of every decision. I recommend All Clear Environmental to friends, neighbors, and strangers with 6/5 stars. Your house is your home - and mold is personal. A company that recognizes the need to love your home well, is a gem beyond measure. Thank you, All Clear Environmental - good people attract good people! Gratefully, Jackie"

"From the first day we started dealing with Tamir and the team at Pure Restoration we knew we were going to have a good experience - because he LISTENED. Issues were discussed and laid out before they became actual problems and Tamir's experience helped us to avoid many simple mistakes that are often made by homeowners. All of the work was done professionally. Permits were pulled and inspections were passed. Tamir communicated all of our needs to his subcontractors and our insurance company, and all of the crew working in our home were responsible and had very positive attitudes. Tamir also communicated his needs (code issues, etc.) to us. Throughout the job we all collaborated with a designer whose ideas were embraced by Tamir and his team (which is pretty rare). Progress was made on the job every day - and the workplace was kept clean and protected. We have already referred Tamir to our friends, and, based on having just passed our last inspection, we will continue to do so. Our house looks great and we are very happy."

"Michael Kuretich thoroughly tested the inside and outside of the house for lead paint. He took many samples from linoleum glue (black tar) on different surfaces and had them tested for asbestos. He came back a few times and tested the air after the removal of lead-containing bathroom tiles and flooring that contained asbestos in the glue. He did not charge me for one of his visits and inspections. His price is really fair while maintaining quality. He is knowledgeable ang gives sound advice. I used one of the companies he recommended for lead and asbestos removal and I was very happy with their work as well.
Another company listed with Angie's List wanted much more for the same service. When I asked why, he said that is the price for and quot;wall-to- wall testing.and quot; Please watch out for crooks.
I highly recommend him.

"I have been working with Ron McProud since around 2004 when he found extensive mold in my home after heavy rains led to water penetration. Ron identified the scope of damage, specified the protocol for repair and monitored a third party mold remediation contractor to make sure that they fully-remediated. He issued a report that gave me (and the eventual buyer of the house) complete comfort that the mold had been remediated. At my next home, Ron found mold in our air conditioning return vent and again specified the correct scope of repair (which led to a significant savings, because the water remediation contractor was attempting to perform more work than required). He again provided expert advice regarding what furniture to keep, what to dispose, how to clean, etc. When we moved again to another house and had a blackwater flood from the downstairs bathroom, there was no question that we would call Ron. He came out, tested the area and this time (thankfully!) found no mold at all. It was good to knowo that we have Ron as a resource. He has become our trusted advisor with respect to all water intrusion. Whenever anyone asks for a mold inspector/water intrustion expert, I give them Ron McProud's contact info without any hesitation. In fact, I gave his name to the association of a new 50 unit condo project that was having mold issues, and he quickly assessed the problem and provided a cost-effective solution, reducing the anxiety of the new homeowners who had moved into the project. Ron, thank you for always being responsive, calm and efficient. While I hope to have no more water issues (!), I am glad to know that you are there if we need you."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

“Testing” can start with your senses: Assessing your water’s appearance, taste, and smell can all be good first steps. The best way to know for sure what’s going on with your water is to use a well water testing kit, which can tell you about the specific levels of bacteria, dissolved solids, and hardness of your water with precision. Have a pro test your well water at least once per year.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
