Small jobs welcome

"After our home sustained significant damage from the recent hurricane, we were faced with the daunting task of finding a restoration company that could handle the process efficiently and affordably. We contacted several businesses, and PHP Restoration stood out immediately. They were not only the most affordable restoration business we found, but they ultimately delivered the absolute best work. The team at PHP Restoration truly exceeded our expectations. They handled everything from initial mold testing to demolition, making what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel easy and straightforward. The quality of the final construction is impeccable. They genuinely went above and beyond to suit all of our specific rebuild needs, making sure our home felt like home again. Another huge part of this positive experience was their communication. Our contact, Julien, was phenomenal. He was readily available to answer all of our questions and address any concerns! Highly recommend"

"I took a chance on someone I didnâ t know which is huge for me. They were prompt with their time, efficient, detailed. They didnâ t veer off the original estimate and delivered exactly what they promised. They guarantee that if something wasnâ t done right, theyâ ll come back and considering everything they did, only a couple of minor things were off; sure enough they came back out to correct the issue with no problems whatsoever. I will most certainly hire them again for future projects. A+"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible

Costs depend on the number of samples, testing method, lab fees, and whether on-site inspections are required.
