"While replacing our floors should have been an easy task, we were beyond bummed to learn that our old linoleum contained asbestos. Begrudgingly, I started calling around to get quotes on abatement and called Select Environmental on the recommendation of a friend of mine. Despite the fact that asbestos removal wasn't in my budget, I simply could not be more pleased to have found Blake and his team. From the outset, they were fast, timely, upfront, honest, and their pricing was fair. When an appointment was made for 8AM, my doorbell would ring at 7:59AM. His workers were efficient, meticulous, and courteous. By the end of our project, I almost longed to discover more asbestos so that I could use Blake and his team again. All kidding aside, I highly recommend Select Environmental and will use them again should the need arise."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

You can expect to pay between $200 and $400 for a lead inspection, where your local lead testing pro will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer. Lead risk assessments are slightly different and run around $800 to $2,000. A pro may find lead during an evaluation, and create a removal strategy.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.
