"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."

"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!"

"Jim was terrific. We scheduled a time to meet at the house. Jim realized that he would be a little late for the appointment and called to notify me, which many contractors don't do. He came to the house and gave me a very thorough description of what did and did not need to be done to the house and how he would go about the process. He was very responsive to all of my questions and had some excellent suggestions about what would look good on the house. He was prompt in sending out a written estimate and responsive with follow-up. He was an all-around pro. Jim's bid was not the low bid that I got, but it was in the 'reasonable' range. I went with another company to paint the house, but I would gladly go back to Jim if I need more painting done. Overall, the experience with Jim and Aardvark was great."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

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.

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 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.
