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>

Q: Do home inspectors check for lead paint?

• <div><p>No, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-included-home-inspection-report.htm">standard home inspection includes</a> the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.</p></div>

Q: What does lead dust look like?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.</p></div>

Q: Do services include remediation recommendations?

• <div><p>Yes, testing professionals typically provide reports with recommendations for safe lead removal.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect testing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.</p></div>

"He was friendly, very professional, and answered all my questions clearly about how mold happens in a home. His reasonable estimate and scope of work. What are the steps for mold remediation? Furthermore, I had delicate items around the work area. He was very successful in making sure that nothing was damaged. "Think floor demolition in a China shop" where none of the dishes gets broken. I highly recommend restoration Hunter if you have to deal with mold in the home."
