Lowest estimate and passed the lead test and received the certification.  I would have given then all A's but they broke a water pipe on a Friday afternoon that cost me 350$ to fix and also tore apart clothes dryer duct work.

"I can't say enough positive things about Jon and his team. They were incredibly professional and all-around great people. After meeting with Jon and his employees, I felt comfortable enough to leave them alone in my house while I went back to work. When I came home, the house was still clean & it was as if no one was even there. The work performed in the attic was also unbelievable - the mold was removed completely & the ceiling boards looked brand new. If you are looking for reliable, punctual, and trustworthy people to solve any mold issues, I highly recommend Indoor Environmental!"

"Ken was amazing!!! His customer service is outstanding. I hired Ken as I was in the process of selling my house and the buyer needed a Lead Certification. I called Ken to see if he can come out and do the deleading job as the closing was less than 3 weeks away. He was able to quickly get the job done in time (only 1 day whereas other contractors said 2 days). He was extremely reasonably price (one the very low end of the quotes I got). There was one quote that was lower, but given his customer service he had provided I went with Ken and it was a great decision. He was able to schedule a lead inspector for the same day and we passed the inspection. I actually needed his assistance with another job small job in order for me to sell the house (not lead related). He was able to go back to my home the very next day and get what I needed!! Again, his price was extremely reasonable. He could have charged me a lot given my time crunch but he did not which I am very appreciative of. I would not at all hesitate to hire him again if the situation arose. HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING 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

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.

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.

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.

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week (2-7 days), depending on factors like laboratory processing times and the volume of samples being analyzed. Expedited services may also be available for urgent situations.

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.
