"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."

"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

Lead testing in residential properties involves collecting samples from paint, dust, soil, or plumbing and analyzing them in certified laboratories to accurately identify lead levels.

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.

Avoid disturbing suspected lead-containing materials and follow professional guidance on sample collection.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.
