"We contacted Sherlock's because my daughter tested high for lead.  We rushed to find a company to help us identify where the contamination was coming from.  I found Sherlock through google and had the best first impression of them than from the other companies I called.

Sally explained the process of lead testing our home clearly.  They performed the lead test less than 2 days from when I called them.  Sally and Chuck came to our home together and tested inside and out for 2 hours.  In the end, we found no source of lead contamination at our home (meaning it must be coming from an outside source).  They provided a thorough report and the price was reasonable.  They are also easy to get a hold of.

Since having them perform the testing, I have heard other positive reviews of this company.  And I will recommend them to anyone who is unfortunate enough to have a poor blood lead score.

I will also never buy a new home without them inspecting it first."

"It was apparent they were very skilled. They quickly dropped the huge limbs without a scratch on the house, fence or sheds surrounding the tree. They arrived on time and cleaned the area to my satisfaction before leaving. And they were competetively priced! I can't say enough good things about this company."

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.

Some of the signs that could mean your water is contaminated, such as cloudiness or bubbliness, could also be non-problems that don’t affect your water’s potability. However, if your water smells or tastes strange, it’s a good idea to stop drinking it and test it immediately. If your well water is contaminated, the best way to discover that is to test it.

Lead exposure poses significant health risks, including neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders, especially critical in young children and fetuses.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

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?
