"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"

"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!

"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."

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 toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

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. 

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.
