"Gina Raspa was wonderful to work with.  She responded within 24 hours to my email and she performed the testing within 4 days of my first contact.  Everything went smoothly thanks to her willingness to respond as soon as possible.
The news was much better than we expected and Gina gave me 3 recommendations for companies who could successfully perform the clean-up.
Thanks to Gina, we were able to move the family into the house without fear of future health issues.
I give Gina and her company the highest ratings because she earned them.

"Rodney is great. Very responsive, reasonably priced, and sends reports very quickly. He does all my lead paint inspections for all my rental properties. I've worked with several lead inspectors and won't use anyone else. Highly recommended."

He even provided some information on seperate home items that were not part of the service we requested. Also, very respectful of our property. (He actually took his shoes off because we had new carpet.) WIll use again. Thank you!"

"These guys were AWESOME. They arrived within 90 minutes, assessed, estimated, and had equipment already with them to handle our flooding. They moved the furniture, explained how it all worked, came back half way through (it was a 3 day process), moved the fans, and then put it all back when they were done at the end of the 3rd day. If every company worked like this - had staff as professional, friendly, and reassuring as these guys - there'd be no need for a better business bureau! Love them. Don't hesitate to use them!"

Lead Testing and Removal FAQs, answered by experts

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.

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.
