"After the plumber repaired the pipes they then took sections. There were two levels of the house that had water from the drain pipe leakage and then just removed portions of the sheet locks, portions of the . and then brought in big humidifiers and fans to dry. It took up part of the padding under the carpet and dried. In our case it was not bad. We caught it before it got really wet so the carpet had to be replaced. They did take out some of the padding. Basically it is the water removal. One of the employee did not connect the house to sink and the water was all over the floor and rug in a different place. It was an accident. It was not intentional. It was carelessness. It is again like the other employee and this one employee can give the company a bad name. . equipment and I have not seen them."

"GA Restoration did an excellent job treating the minor mold problem we had in our bathroom down to the subflooring and joists as well as completely renovating our bathroom. They arranged multiple contractors who all did an amazing job. We worked with Sam and he was very responsive and communicative with us through the project. They completed the project the week before Christmas, a busy season, and during below freezing weather without delay. I would work with GA Restoration again and recommend them to anyone for their restoration or construction needs."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.

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?

No, you can’t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn’t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you’ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.
