I established Bay & Beyond Inspection Services in May 2018 after a 25 year career as an electrician in the Air Force and 13 years as a Maine code enforcement officer. I have received extensive training and continuing education courses to keep up with the ever changing construction industry. I have an associates degree in electrical mechanical technologies and am a state certified third-party inspector for all phases of construction. I am a state certified septic system inspector and hold national and state certifications as a radon testing and analytical lab. I am a member of International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) and the Maine Building Officials and Inspectors Association (MBOIA). So what does all this mean to you, my customer? I am a highly trained and experienced inspector that works only for you, my customer. I don't work for real estate agents or any other third party involved with the property you hired me to inspect. You will receive an unbiased and honest report detailing what I observed during the inspection. This is not a pass/fail rating, but detailed information that will provide you with the confidence you need to make one of your biggest investment decisions of your life. Rest assured that I will inspect your property no differently than I would if I were purchasing the property myself. This is my promise to you. Tod Rosenberg, Owner

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.

“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.

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.

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.
