"Marshall was excellent to work with and I highly recommend this company! Our builder installed our master shower wrong, which caused the damage that can be seen in the pictures and soon as Marshall was called out, he began to get to work immediately since we were obviously concerned with all the mold growth that had happened. He brought in a specialist to test the type of mold and the air quality in our house so we didn’t have to worry about breathing this nasty stuff in. He was in constant communication with us during the entire process and came out once per day to check the progress of the remediation. From start to finish, we started the remediation process on Friday morning and by Monday morning with daily checks from Marshall, he was able to take his equipment back and complete the job. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable!!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

You can expect to pay between $200 and $400 for a lead inspection, where your local lead testing pro will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer. Lead risk assessments are slightly different and run around $800 to $2,000. A pro may find lead during an evaluation, and create a removal strategy.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

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