"We are in the process of selling our 1955 home, and as expected, inspection brought up potential asbestos in our attic insulation. Testing by IDPH was conducted and a proposal was put together. The proposal by the first company was outrageously expensive, so we contacted Weber Management Group through Angi’s list for a second opinion. Mike Herman called me almost immediately and began asking really important questions that ultimately revealed his incredible knowledge in this area, but also that we were being led astray on the actual results of the testing. After a review of our test results, it was determined that no action needed to be taken, saving me thousands of dollars on my home sale. If you need a first, second, or third opinion, Weber Group Management is where to start."

"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!"

"We received the estimate from Ketchum Painting in a timely manner.  His prices were competitive and the quality of his work was exceptional.  The work was done on time. They cleaned up everyday to minimize impact to my family.  I was home when they started their job but soon felt comfortable with them working in my home when I was out.  I have used Ketchum Painting repeatedly over the past ten years and will use them again."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on the number of samples, testing method, lab fees, and whether on-site inspections are required.

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week (2-7 days), depending on factors like laboratory processing times and the volume of samples being analyzed. Expedited services may also be available for urgent situations.

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.

Lead paint test kits are not always accurate. Several factors can play into why a test kit provides an inaccurate result such as user error, sample viability, the age and condition of the paint, or difficulty interpreting the final result. If you are looking for 100% accuracy, hiring a professional lead paint test is the only way to get that piece of mind.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.
