"Frank and his team at Circle Vision construction performed mold remediation on a home before we moved in.  What initially appeared to be a small spot underneath the kitchen sink turned into a large amount of black mold along the bottoms of most of the cabinets.  Additional mold was found around two of the toilets.  In each of the situations, Frank discussed the severity of the find, and what would be required to remediate it.  Our health is our #1 concern, so we elected to make sure that the mold was completely eradicated.  After each area was complete, it was certified by an independent lab.  Throughout the process, which occurred during a tight schedule to be moved in by a certain date, Frank was always available by phone and email.  Email these days is incredibly helpful as I was able to keep on top of the progress while still managing a hectic time at work.  I can easily recommend Frank and Circle Vision construction for the work they performed in the house."

"I had a pipe brake on the second floor in my house on sunday morning. I found this company online, really liked their website. AllStar Water Damage Company owner Craig Clover Wilcox came out to my house very quickly when heard how serious the flood was. He and his team ripped out all the walls, floors and ceiling that needed to come out; remediated mold that was found in the wall in the bathroom upstairs; and left a lot of professional drying and air filtration equipment for a few days and then they came back and rebuilt every thing they had torn out,also Craig the owner walked me threw the insurance claim process and got me covered. check out their website its full of a lot of information that is very helpful. http://www.allstarwaterdamage.com thank you again, you guys did a wonderful job..."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

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.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings
