"Very knowledgeable! It's our first time purchasing a manufactured home with well water and he made suggestions on what inspections to get. So glad he did because insurance wanted everything we got. We also got a water testing which was great because it came back with issues we were able to address it quickly."

"I believe there were two problems , one of which was self inflicted and the other an oversight. They promised the report to me by Monday night or Tuesday. I got the report at the end of the following week. I think they over promised based upon the complexity of the inspection and the condition of the house. The oversight indicated that the water was turned off and therefore he couldn't test the toilets etc. The fact was he turned the water on and discovered that there was a broken supply line underground that leaked out of the ground next to the driveway. He turned the water off at that point."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

Avoid disturbing suspected lead-containing materials and follow professional guidance on sample collection.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.

Lead testing prior to purchasing a property ensures that the new owners are informed about potential hazards, prevents health risks associated with lead poisoning, and facilitates timely remediation.
