"MKJ were professional, timely, and a pleasure to work with. Although our initial building inspection failed (due to a confusion between building codes), MKJ went above and beyond in assisting us with remediating the issue to ensure we passed."

"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!"

"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

Lead exposure poses significant health risks, including neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders, especially critical in young children and fetuses.

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

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

You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.

Professional lead testing services typically cost between $200 and $500, with the price varying based on the extent of testing and the specific areas tested within the property.
