"Norman is an upstanding business owner with integrity. He's also friendly, knowledgeable, and a clear communicator. He sent all of his credential ahead of time, arrived 5 minutes early, and explained his process and everything he was doing. When there was a minor misunderstanding, he offered a compromise on price just to make sure we were fully satisfied. A real gentleman. I would 100% recommend Norman to anyone in need to lead testing services!"
"Adisa Enterprises was excellent! My project required removing a water-damaged wood floor exposing asbestos tiles underneath. Adisa removed the wood flooring, asbestos tiles, and mastic and disposed of them. They were very diligent, remediating the asbestos consistent with legal requirements. They installed the new sub floor smoothly so the replacement flooring went down easily. Highly recommend"
"Work team was polite, on time every day and highly professional. They explained the process in detail and kept us informed during each phase. I highly recommend D&H."
"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. "
"Inspector responded promptly to my service request. Came on time and was very descriptive while addressing our concerns. 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!"
"Home Free Lead always schedules appointments shows up on time and is professional every step of the way. They are incredibly thorough, professional and accurate from setting appointments to billing and reporting."
Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts
Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.
Lead testing in residential properties involves collecting samples from paint, dust, soil, or plumbing and analyzing them in certified laboratories to accurately identify lead levels.
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.
Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.
“Testing” can start with your senses: Assessing your water’s appearance, taste, and smell can all be good first steps. The best way to know for sure what’s going on with your water is to use a well water testing kit, which can tell you about the specific levels of bacteria, dissolved solids, and hardness of your water with precision. Have a pro test your well water at least once per year.
