"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."

"The work they did was very good. The customer service about the balance due after and initial deposit; awaiting Insurance payment, was harassment. It was unrelenting even after they received the check; they forgot to subtract my initial deposit and called and text me accusing me of owing them more. They added to the stress of a very challenging situation after a flood at my home. I would never t commend them for this reason, "

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

The four types of hazardous waste are toxic, corrosive, flammable, and reactive. These four types fall under the EPA’s designation of characteristic hazardous waste. The EPA also categorizes hazardous wastes as listed, which includes specific byproducts or unused chemicals from manufacturing and industrial processes, universal waste, including bulbs, mercury, pesticides, batteries, and various other common substances, and mixed waste containing radioactive material.

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.

Lead testing prior to purchasing a property ensures that the new owners are informed about potential hazards, prevents health risks associated with lead poisoning, and facilitates timely remediation.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.
