"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!!"

"They were very professional, on time, courteous and very respectful of my home. The company is very good at covering my furniture with plastic. The workers are very mindful of my items which is great. They cleaned up after themselves. Considering that chemicals include in cleaning process, they wear masks and make sure everything is good and the price is fair."

"For the removal of large scale mold and mildew, I recommend you contact RaShaun Murphy of Home Remedies. He recently undertook the task of removing the mold and mildew which had been slowly but steadily growing in my basement over the last several years. Some drywall was seriously affected as were most of the wooden shelves and nearly every other poress surface in that space. Mr. Murphy came to my home and performed a thorough assessment of the damage and provided me with a detailed description of what needed to be done and the cost necessary to make the space safe and inhabitable. He worked quickly and within my budget without compromising the quality of service. It's refreshing to see someone so dedicated to their profession and the work ethic not to just do the job but make things as they should be. I hope I never need remediation services again, but if I do, I know who to call!

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

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.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

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.
