"Mike & his team were FANTASTIC, professional, & easy to work with. Our contractor found asbestos in the basement tile & said I needed to remediate it before they can go any further with my flooring project. Naturally I went into panic & called several companies. When I spoke with Mike he eased any concern I had and was very thorough and explained all of my options. He also was able to come out right away and get a crew in my house that very weekend and have it removed in a day (talk about great customer service). The day of my scheduled appointment the crew showed up and not only were they professional, they walked me thru the entire process and called me throughout the day to inform me of their progress. Once they were complete they air tested the area to ensure it was safe for my family & I to return home. Before we got home they cleaned their entire working area as if they were never here. They also walked me thru the area and WOW-WOW-WOW! The floor looked incredible! They also provided an in depth report of the remediated tested area. I’m still in awe of how professional, efficient and quick they worked. I would recommend this Company over and over! If you’re looking to have asbestos removal, look no further. What else can I say other than I’m extremely happy with their level of service and job performed. Thank you Mike & team!"

"This company is great to work with. They did some mold testing on parents’ home and did excellent work. They also did some work on my home. They replaced a water heater and bathroom fans. He was easy to get a hold of, personable and come over right away."

"Four Elements Environmental was extremely prompt replying to my messages and was able to work with my schedule to setup a lead paint and dust inspection. Mark conducted an extremely thorough inspection, and found lead in a few places I never would have noticed on my own. Four Elements pricing was reasonable, and the report assembled after the inspection was extremely detailed and helpful. I highly recommend Four Elements Environmental!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

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

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

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.
