"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!"

Crawl space encapsulation, or sealing, is the treatment that building scientists recommend to turn a damp, dirty, moldy crawl space into a clean, dry space where mold can't grow

Common in homes built in the 20th century, black mastic was used as an adhesive for ceramic tile, linoleum, and other resilient flooring materials. Mastic is a term that has largely become outdated, but you may still find it on old cans around the house. The main concern is that some (but not all) black mastics may contain asbestos

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

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.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.
