What factors affect testing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.</p></div>

How are samples collected during testing?

• <div><p>Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.</p></div>

How do professionals test for other toxic materials in a home?

• <div><p>Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.</p></div>

How often should properties be tested for lead?

• <div><p>Properties should be tested for lead every 2-3 years, especially if they are older, have undergone renovations, or show deterioration of paint or interior finishes.</p></div>

Do all homes that were built before 1978 contain lead paint?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

"Marcos was friendly and fast, and flexible in scheduling. He and his crew did a great job for us in removing asbestos tiles from our basement flooring so we could have interior drain tiling installed. In the process, they also discovered some mold, which they were able to deal with at the same time. He came with a large crew, so they finished a large job very quickly. The space was well cleaned afterwards, and we received the necessary clearances. Highly recommend."
