"I had a little issue in my attic and went searching on Angie's List for a contractor....I was notified by Nathan from ASD WATERWORKS. He came out here the next day and gave me a free estimate as to what needed to be done and how much it would cost...We agreed on a figure and set up an appointment to have it resolved... The technicians showed up and were very friendly and professional....They laid down floor covering so that they wouldn't track anything in on the floor and sealed off the room leading to the attic....The process was performed in a timely manner and they cleaned everything up behind themselves. Very impressive....I would highly recommend the company for any problem that you may have and also would use them again if necessary......Thanks ASD WATERWORKS."

"Bilal went above and beyond for me. I was supposed to have new flooring done on a Saturday, they said it could be asbestos on the tiles under the carpet and couldn't work until it was tested. Obviously I was devastated. He came out that afternoon, took the samples Monday to the lab so I could get same day results. Came out Tuesday to remove everything. Wednesday took the air sample to the lab for same day results. Completely above and beyond to help me and I'm very greatful. Thank you!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

“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.

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, 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.
