"I had received the estimate in November of 2020. I called in late June to ask that they come & remove the mold. They responded immediately, and scheduled the removal for July 1, 2021. The work had to be rescheduled due to an employee's absence. They managed to do the job later the same day. It was painless. I am quite pleased."

"Ms. Raspa has surpassed all my expectations.  She completed a mold test after a remediation project to ensure its success.  Not only did she provide the results promptly, but she has advised us on a number of things including building materials that can contain VOC's, dehumidifiers, and various ways to prevent mold.  She is very professional and makes herself available for consult/ questions!  Would definitely recommend her!

"Integrity like you do not find when dealing with most businesses. I would not even waste my time calling anyone else. Cindy is very prompt and efficient to answer your questions and needs. She is as honest a business owner you will find and that is not easy to find from contractors in OCMD. Her prices are very fair. If your needs fall under the services that Chesapeake Lead Paint Inspections cover you need to call Cindy. You will not be sorry and the others just do not stand up to Chesapeake Lead Paint Inspections."

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.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.
