Q: What is a lead paint inspection?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/find-contractor-lead-paint-removal.htm">finding a lead paint inspector</a> to examine the surfaces of the building&mdash;such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas&mdash;and identify the presence of lead-based paint.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to drink brown well water?

• <div><p>Some causes of brown well water&mdash;like excess tannins or dissolved iron&mdash;don&rsquo;t pose a health risk. In other cases, harmful bacteria might be the culprit. If your well water has suddenly turned brown, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use a home water test kit to get a better sense of what&rsquo;s going on with your water. Consider calling a professional for an expert opinion before drinking the water and hoping for the best.</p></div>

Q: How do you test for lead in your water?

Q: What does lead dust look like?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over lead paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over lead paint, or &ldquo;encapsulate&rdquo; it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-options-do-i-have-remove-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal method</a> as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an &ldquo;encapsulant&rdquo; from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.</p></div>

"Excellent value!! Valley Inspection Services was over a thousand dollars than another quote I received, yes you read that right. The samples were sent to an independent lab that probably multiple inspection services use so no lack of quality of test results. Service was quick. Willie was honest and trustworthy and I mention this only because he is new to having his own company and it shows a bit. He is licensed with the state and they have him in their system. The report I received does what I needed it to do. The only hurdle was a a smoother payment and email process would be nice. Other than that, support this guy so he can grow his company. Great value and great service."
