"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

The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about $600, but it can cost as low as $150 or as much as $800, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods. Some of the most common lead paint inspection methods include:

  • Visual inspection: $150–$400

  • Paint sampling: $200–$600

  • X-ray fluorescence (XRF): $250–$700

  • Risk assessment: $300–$800

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.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

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. 

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.
