"William and his crew were punctual, courteous, and professional. William walked me through the process for the work, inspected the areas he needed to access, and answered all my questions with enthusiasm which made me feel respected as a customer. They worked diligently and when the whole job was complete, including air quality testing, he walked me through for approval. I truly think my basement was left cleaner than before they started. I had nothing to clean up, throw out, or pick up after they were done. I am so pleased I used BlueStone for my Asbestos removal project and their pricing was right in line with a competitor. Thank you!"

"Rogelio and the team were excellent and very professional. They were able to make it out in one day and complete the asbestos removal within a few hours. Every step of the process was explained to me first and I was given a chance to safely check on the progress along the way. Cost was very reasonable."

"They were very professional honest and showed up on time. Another company to come out and they were trying to pitch me and the idea of me destroy my entire basement to get rid of some mold. The guys at Black rock environmental did not! They even took an air test afterwards confirming everything they said they would do. I strongly recommend them. Two thumbs up!"

"We have worked with Van Der Bosch for three or four years now, and they have been beyond fantastic.
We lived in a garden (basement) unit condo that had some severe plumbing issues. Now, all garden units have water issues - that's just the nature of the beast of living underground. But our unit had some particularly bad problems: The common piping for the toilets was old and not installed to handle a below-grade unit, so several times during huge rainstorms, sewage from the other people in our condo backed up through our tub. We had VDB come out multiple times for this issue.
The reason why it took and quot;multiple timesand quot; had nothing to do with shoddy craftsmanship on the part of VDB. Since the problem was in the common pipes, it was an issue for the condo association. The association understandably chose to do some lower cost fixes the first couple times around, but eventually opted for the full pipe replacement when they realized that this was going to continue being an issue.
Throughout the process, VDB advocated for us to the condo board, and I think it was their advocacy that eventually led to the association eventually chosing the big-ticket long-term fix. Now that might make you think they push the more expensive stuff for their own benefit. But that's not the case at all - more than once, they urged us NOT to have some expensive work done that they didn't think would actually lead to a long-term benefit for us. (Not to mention they made several visits for free when dealing with minor things.) This honesty was one of the biggest things that we appreciated about them, and we really felt that we could trust them 100%.
That eventual big fix was that they had to rip up our floor to get to and replace a big pipe. This was a multi-day job that left us unable to use that particular room in our house. Not only did they get this done in what seemed to us like a pretty short amount of time, but they left the floor looking like nothing had ever happened to it. After they did this, we never had the sewage problem ever again.
Also, the plumbers that came to our unit were the nicest guys in the world. I don't know if it's company policy that the service workers be so polite, but I think every time someone came over, they called us and quot;ma'amand quot; and and quot;sir.and quot;
Anyways, these guys are great. I give them my absolutely highest recommendation, and am really sad that we can't take them with us to West Virginia when we move.
NOTE ON THE COST OF SERVICE: I don't remember any of the costs involved, since this happened over a period of three years. Angie's List converted my and quot;??and quot; into a 0.00.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about $600, but it can cost as low as $150 or as much as $800, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods. Some of the most common lead paint inspection methods include:

  • Visual inspection: $150–$400

  • Paint sampling: $200–$600

  • X-ray fluorescence (XRF): $250–$700

  • Risk assessment: $300–$800

Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.
