"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."

"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."

"It was such a great experience! Since we had budget limitation, they patiently provided different options and adjusted along the way, making sure we got the best out from the budget. The work was beautifully done, very professional in every aspect. I have to say much better than we had expected. They also very truthful in countering the hours spending on the project, not just roughly by days, which is really impressive. Feel we just can simply account on them, from boss Jeremy Brigham to the two technicians. We will definitely we use this team if need in the future."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, testing professionals typically provide reports with recommendations for safe lead removal.

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

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.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

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.
