"Inspector Whitney did an excellent job with my MDE lead inspection. I found him through Angie?s List and he was able to test my property the next day. He explained the process, answered all my questions, and kept me updated while waiting for the test results. I recommend him without reservation."

"This was the 3rd time we have used Lawson and we have been very pleased each time. The first was a crawl space, the second was to remove old insulation in the attic and replace it. This time we had Lawson install a vent from a bathroom fan and install a Sanadry unit in our basement. No more moisture or musty smell! Great job every time and the men are pleasant to work with and respectful of our home. Neat and tidy work."

"It went really well. Gina scheduled the appointment quickly and came on time. She spent as much time as I needed  to answer all my questions (with patience and a great sense of humor).  She got the lab results quickly and communicated the results and her recommendations to me immediately via phone.. I got the written lab report right away.  It took a few more days to get the written recommendations.  Gina is very helpful and practical and provides great advice.  Her price appears fair and in the range of the other estimate I received. I'd definitely recommend MAQC to others.

"Chris was WONDERFUL! I just purchased a home and wanted to have a mold inspection done for peace of mind. Chris took time to explain the process and put my fears at ease with his vast knowledge. He reviewed the test results with me prior to closing which gave me the peace of mind I needed to confirm I was making a good purchase and great investment. I highly recommend Mid Atlantic Commercial Residential Real Estate Solutions. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS!!"

"To be up front I had to cancel my appointment due to my landlord letting me out of my lease. However, EVERY single time I contacted this persons they were not only extremely helpful, but professional as well. The way they provided information was up front and to the point. they were very educated with lead inspections and knew what to look for when I told them what my landlord was doing. They are well educated and informed, as well as up to date. Contractor that came out to the house from another company to assess work being donehad been doing lead based renovations for 30 years. He was surprised at how much a knew about everything, it was all thanks to thus company. I knew what to look for and knew what to ask due to how helpful this company is. I highly recommend taking their call first, if you aren't satisfied, go ahead and call someone else, I promise you will be back to talk to Chesapeake Lead Paint Inspections. btw they can do XRF scans too."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

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.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

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

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.
