"Vanessa and Norman were absolutely wonderful. We were concerned with lead paint since we have a three year old and they were thorough and provided a lot of good information regarding the testing process and lab report. I would highly recommend them for any lead testing services."

"Inspector Whitney did an excellent job with my MDE lead inspection. I found him through Angie?s List and he was able to test my property the next day. He explained the process, answered all my questions, and kept me updated while waiting for the test results. I recommend him without reservation."

"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

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.

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. 

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.

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.
