Customers say: Quick response

"The Select Environmental technician arrived on time to remove a transite pipe from my attic. Since the pipe was already wrapped for disposal, the technician only had to find the pipe amidst the insulation. I donâ t know if any further treatment was required before the pipe went to the disposal facility. We appreciate that the technician was pleasant and vacuumed up insulation material before he left."

They pointed out several issues I didn't know I had.  That's invaluable.  They followed up with a respectful and understandable declination to do the job.  They also provided recommendations of more local service providers who are permitted to perform the work.

"Josh was so quick to respond and come remediate our mold issue! We were on a time crunch and he really helped us keep the project on track after we discovered the mold issue part way through the demo. Hopefully we never have mold issues again but if we do, we'd definitely call PuroClean!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.

No, a standard home inspection includes 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.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

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.
