"Initially had two companies inspect the house and offer remediation plans. Blue Sky's plan was more detailed and comprehensive as well as less expensive. They were more responsive and more understanding of our needs throughout the process. Biggest issue for us is that Remediation by its nature is a very disruptive process and we weren't quite as prepared psychologically as we needed to be. Just about everything ends up being moved so it can be cleaned... and in our case, parts of the house a second time given how much stuff we have and how serious the mold problem was. Minor issue was that some workers seemed to be much better at putting things back closer to were they originally were. Healthwise, the good thing for us was that they didn't quit until the follow up testing said it was safe... and with no extra bill from them."

"Smart Environmental has excellent customer service and incredibly honest people. They saved us thousands of dollars by stressing the importance of testing our old vermiculite insulation rather than assuming it had asbestos. While another company took a look at our attic and gave us a quote for over $3,000 of asbestos remediation, Pony described that many inspectors see old insulation and assume it is asbestos, but that is not always the case. Pony took a sample from our attic, got it tested for us, and promptly sent us the negative test results the next day. We could not be more grateful for Ponys honesty and the diligence he took in actually testing our insulation instead of just assuming we needed a costly remediation."

"The service turned out well. They actually ended up siding the entire home. They were very good at designing the color of the siding and had great recommendations since I had no idea what I was looking for. The computer technology was great as far as coming up with the design. I was very pleased with the outcome of the service. The technicians who did the siding were always on time. Scheduling was very easy, as well. Ab"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

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.

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.
