"I live on the San Francisco peninsula area. My kitchen floor needs replacing and before the floor installer could begin, they informed me I needed my existing flooring needed to be tested for ASBESTOS before any work could be done. I reached out to multiple companies from different platforms for ASBESTOS TESTING and not one company replied back to me except for ADVIRO recommended from ANGI"S LIST. Response was quick and professional. They made initial contact the next business day via text message, email and phone call. An appointment was made, 2 techs came to do the testing, less than an 20 min visit and result were emailed within 2 days. Original price quote was $455 but ended up being $535, due to a second layer of flooring. Each layer needed to be tested. They also recommended the vinyl border trim for testing, (again an additional cost) that I kindly declined. I would highly recommend ADVIRO."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

Avoid disturbing suspected lead-containing materials and follow professional guidance on sample collection.

Iron sediments from rusty pipes are not likely to cause health problems. While a glass of yellow-hued water is off-putting, it is generally safe to drink yellow water in the short term. But you certainly want to address this problem. In the meantime, switching to bottled water until the yellow water issue is resolved is a good idea. 

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.

Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.
