"All I can say about this company is "WOW!" I was having BIG condensation issues in my crawlspace. I had tried using box fans to help out and leaving the vents open, but nothing helped. I got in touch with Pure Protection at the end of July or the first of August. They called me and set up a time to meet immediately. In fact I was blown away that they met me on a Saturday, which worked great for me. After going in my crawlspace they saw the "condensation" from the high humidity problem that I was having. While checking the area, they saw that I was beginning to have a mold issue. This very much concerned me, but very quickly they put my mind at ease by letting me know that this could be rectified. After talking with Dan and Ryan at length I decided that I would like to have a quote to have mold remediation done and a total encapsulation of my crawlspace. That would mean that they would take out all of my insulation, and install a dehumidifier, and an exhaust fan in the area to keep everything dry ALL the time! In just a few days Dan and Ryan came by to bring the quote and sit down and go over every detail of it. After looking over it completely, I told them that I wanted it completed as soon as they could put me on their schedule. They came out and began work around the end of September. They came early, stayed late, and worked all the time they were here. Part of the time was when we were having a lot of rain. That did not stop them. They set up a tent outside the crawlspace and worked, just like it was sunny outside. Throughout the process Dan kept me updated on what was going on. Dan, Ryan, and Ken were very professional, friendly, and hard-working. I have been blown away by their professionalism, and wanting to please the customer in every way. Now I can say that I have a "completely dry" crawlspace, and I am so proud of it. Dan contacted me and set up a time in November to come by and make sure everything was going great, and it sure was. What more can a customer ask? Thanks, Pure Protection, and Dan, Ryan, and Ken for making me have a crawlspace that I am so proud of, and for making sure I live in a healthy environment!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

Yes, testing professionals typically provide reports with recommendations for safe lead removal.

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

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

“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.
