If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.</p></div>

Q: How can you test your well water yourself?

• <div><p>&ldquo;Testing&rdquo; can start with your senses: Assessing your water&rsquo;s appearance, taste, and smell can all be good first steps. The best way to know for sure what&rsquo;s going on with your water is to use a well water testing kit, which can tell you about the specific levels of bacteria, dissolved solids, and hardness of your water with precision. Have a pro test your well water at least once per year.</p></div>

" We are very happy with the outcome. These ladies are very efficient, work quietly and very steady. I appreciated the fact that they did not start until 10:00AM, as we are elderly and it gave us a chance to be ready for the day. They will do more painting for us in January and I highly recommend Integrity Painting.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Lead exposure poses significant health risks, including neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders, especially critical in young children and fetuses.

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?
Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?
How do you test for lead paint?
What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?
What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?
Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

“Testing” can start with your senses: Assessing your water’s appearance, taste, and smell can all be good first steps. The best way to know for sure what’s going on with your water is to use a well water testing kit, which can tell you about the specific levels of bacteria, dissolved solids, and hardness of your water with precision. Have a pro test your well water at least once per year.
