"This was the 3rd time we have used Lawson and we have been very pleased each time. The first was a crawl space, the second was to remove old insulation in the attic and replace it. This time we had Lawson install a vent from a bathroom fan and install a Sanadry unit in our basement. No more moisture or musty smell! Great job every time and the men are pleasant to work with and respectful of our home. Neat and tidy work."

"Chris was WONDERFUL! I just purchased a home and wanted to have a mold inspection done for peace of mind. Chris took time to explain the process and put my fears at ease with his vast knowledge. He reviewed the test results with me prior to closing which gave me the peace of mind I needed to confirm I was making a good purchase and great investment. I highly recommend Mid Atlantic Commercial Residential Real Estate Solutions. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS!!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, you have excellent eco-friendly choices for lead testing and removal in Wilmington. We recommend asking certified specialists about XRF testing, which is completely non-destructive and creates zero chemical waste. For the removal phase, Delaware regulations allow encapsulation and enclosure as safe interim controls. These low-impact methods seal the hazard and significantly reduce airborne dust and debris compared to full paint stripping.

Helpful?

A major mistake homeowners make during lead testing and removal is assuming a remodeled 1970s rowhouse is completely safe. Cosmetic updates hide dangerous older paint layers. Another critical error involves scraping deteriorating window frames during spring maintenance without realizing it creates toxic dust. Finally, you must never throw abatement debris into standard Wilmington trash, as state regulations require strict disposal methods for contaminated waste.

Helpful?

After completing lead testing and removal via encapsulation, you must perform strict annual visual inspections. Wilmington experiences intense freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers that severely stress interior and exterior paint. Inspect all treated window sills, door frames, and high-moisture bathroom areas for bubbling or peeling. Additionally, you must maintain all landscaping barriers over treated soil and safely store your hazard control records for future property sales.

Helpful?

When planning for lead testing and removal, you must account for several unexpected expenses. Post-project clearance examinations by a separate inspector add extra fees to your budget. In dense Wilmington neighborhoods, contaminated soil excavation around your foundation is another common surprise expense. If your project involves replacing heavily coated windows or requires temporary family relocation during full abatement, your overall financial investment will increase significantly.

Helpful?

Before scheduling lead testing and removal, you must handle deteriorated paint with extreme care. We recommend wet-wiping minor peeling areas with a damp cloth instead of dry dusting to prevent airborne hazards. For larger flaking spots caused by harsh DE winters, seal the area tightly using heavy plastic sheeting and painter's tape. Never use heat guns, sanders, or power tools on pre-1978 painted surfaces.
