"Larry answered my call and explained why we have no need to remediate what was safe in its present condition, notwithstanding the re-roofing we are about to perform on the house. In other words, although he could have suggested we engage him for some remediation work for which I apparently would have had no need, he was honest and talked me out of paying for something I did not need. Class act."

"This is my first time leaving a review for a company as I've never felt the need to, but using Pacific Environmental I feel I should share with my home owners. My husband and I bought out first home which we love but a room had acoustic ceiling. I reach out to PEAS, which everyone in the office was very helpful and patient on guiding me through this experience. Their scheduling was amazing as I was dealing with Closing Escrow and moving my family in. Once they arrived, they informed me on the scope of work and what they would be doing and what to expect, this being my 8-year-old son room so I was a bit worried on hazardous material that was being removed and used. CONTAINMENT WAS AMAZING! I was so happy and felt so safe on how they kept the area and the protection they took to take care of my family and themselves. My kids thought the crew looked pretty cool too, haha. CLEANING WAS AMAZING! Work was conducted upstairs and they went the extra mile and cleaned everything they touched, I really appreciate that, as it again made me feel secure and safe. PEAS left a memorial memory our kids still talk about. I strongly recommend them and would use them again."

"After the traumatic and heartbreaking experience of the Palisades fires, we had to go ahead and hire a remediation company. We just finished our remediation with Brett from Hunter Restoration and our apartment smells and looks great! Brett and Braulio did a wonderful job! Not only did they do an amazing job with our unit and were very hardworking and dedicated to making our place look amazing… They were also very compassionate, understanding, patient and worked with us and our situation to be able to make this happen for us as smoothly as possible. I met with almost 8 remediation companies… I’m happy I went with them… I will definitely go back to them for any future jobs I have. I cannot recommend them enough! They did a fantastic job! Thanks Hunter Restoration!"

"I priced a number of companies for asbestos testing of a structure. Kurtis responded promptly and was able to conduct the test within just a couple of days of my call. They followed up with a call to let me know my results as soon as they were ready, the promptly mailed and emailed the final report. Very nice and total pros and the price is among the best in the biz."

"My remediation was challenging because I live a couple states away from the house I own. I had received a quote from another company saying that my whole bathroom needed to be torn out. When AM/PM inspected, they suspected that the damage was not that widespread. Sure enough, when they did the demo, the mold had not spread widely into the walls. I appreciated their honesty, even though it meant a smaller job. Maya came to the house to assess the damage, then remained my point of contact throughout the job. She was kind, knowledgable and professional. She even recommended a 3rd party testing company to come and certify their work. AND all of this happened over the Christmas holiday. I was very happy with the service overall. My bathroom looks great and I have a certificate of remediation for my tenants. Thankful for this team."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

California requires specific certifications for different stages of lead testing and removal. Certified inspectors and risk assessors identify hazards and evaluate exposure risks. Certified abatement contractors and their dedicated workers perform the actual extraction or encapsulation. For general remodeling that disturbs painted surfaces, hire certified renovation professionals. Environmental consultants provide project oversight and issue the final clearance documentation.

Helpful?

Homeowners schedule lead testing and removal year-round, but spring and early summer offer optimal conditions in Pasadena. Moderate temperatures help encapsulants cure properly, while higher humidity minimizes dangerous dust dispersion. Professionals avoid large exterior projects from October through December, as intense Santa Ana winds make strict dust containment extremely difficult. Spring timing also aligns perfectly with the local real estate selling season.

Helpful?

After completing lead testing and removal, CA regulations mandate a formal clearance inspection to confirm the space is safe. Retain the final abatement report for future real estate disclosures. If professionals encapsulated the paint, schedule annual inspections to ensure the sealant remains intact. For plumbing updates, arrange follow-up water testing through an accredited laboratory to verify your water supply is secure.

Helpful?

Older properties in Pasadena, particularly pre-1940 Craftsman homes, present unique challenges for lead testing and removal. Multiple layers of lead paint on original woodwork and built-in cabinetry require careful handling. Historic districts impose strict rules on altering surfaces. You must also check detached garages and pre-1986 plumbing for lead materials. A certified professional will navigate these structural hurdles safely and effectively.

Helpful?

Ongoing maintenance for lead testing and removal depends on the methods used. If professionals encapsulated the paint, perform annual visual inspections, as Pasadena heat and dry winds cause sealants to crack over time. Avoid disturbing treated soil barriers during landscaping projects. Manage remaining older plumbing by running cold water before use and installing certified filters until you complete full pipe replacements.
