"Tom always discussed each project with us beforehand, estimated hours and materials, and completed the work in the timeline he committed to.  He worked around our schedule; he always cleaned everything up as he went; and he did all of the work with minimal disruption to our family of four.  He invoiced very clearly, and with the detail we needed.  We found him personable, professional, and reliable, and we highly remcommend him.

Went great.  Dominic was fantastic in explaining everything to me during the inspection.  And, all the workers who came to set up all the equipment and remove the drywall were very understanding of the situation with my son (who has special needs) and the fans/dehumidifiers that had to be set up - there had to be plenty of room to move around so they were careful to leave the plastic containment areas (with the machines in them) with enough space for my son to be able to maneuver, and for me to get to the back door to still be able to let the dog out into the back yard!  The workers accidentally picked up my son's jacket when they left (he threw it down on the floor as he went into a seizure from being overwhelmed with all the noise from the machines), but they made sure it was returned when they came back to turn off all the machines and remove the equipment.  Adam and the crew were great!

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.

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.

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

“Testing” can start with your senses: Assessing your water’s appearance, taste, and smell can all be good first steps. The best way to know for sure what’s going on with your water is to use a well water testing kit, which can tell you about the specific levels of bacteria, dissolved solids, and hardness of your water with precision. Have a pro test your well water at least once per year.

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.
