"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

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

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?

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.
