"Jon came by for a consult to look at some ugly looking black staining that was growing in my basement. He was very professional and punctual and thoroughly explained why it was not mold, but harmless mildew and how to rectify it. I was so appreciative for his integrity and honesty and I will absolutely use Indoor Environmental if I ever do get mold in my house."

"I wanted to strip off all my old cedar shakes before installing new siding on my house. One layer of paint contained lead so I obtained several quotations from lead paint contractors to remove the shakes. Ken's quote was the lowest and his HomeAdvisor reviews were very good so I hired him. Ken and his employees finished the job in one day and they did a good job of removing the shakes and cleaning up all the debris. They were professional in every way. I highly recommend Ken."

"We were selling our house and the radon test came back high so we needed quick and effective service. The appointment was scheduled a week from our call. The technician arrived on time and helped identify the best location for the system that was both effective and as aesthetic as possible. The install went quickly and he took the time to explain how it worked and what we should look for in terms of monitoring and maintenance. Overall, it was a good experience."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

No, you can’t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn’t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you’ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.

Iron sediments from rusty pipes are not likely to cause health problems. While a glass of yellow-hued water is off-putting, it is generally safe to drink yellow water in the short term. But you certainly want to address this problem. In the meantime, switching to bottled water until the yellow water issue is resolved is a good idea.
