"Richard came to my house, looked over the walls and attic, fully explained what he was doing and why, and took a sample. Two days later Nancy called, took payment information, and quickly emailed my negative result. These people are wonderful to work with, and are highly recommended."

"Thanks to a bad pipe in an upstairs bathroom , our house sustained 18 hours worth of water damage on three floors. If you've never had such a problem in your house, consider yourself blessed. I called Loyear the morning of the damage and a team was dispensed out that day. The main concern was to ensure that during the summer the heavy water damage didn't result in mold.
Loyear sent Eric Kolbinger, the consummate professional that a home owner wants to work with in this type of situation. After assessing the damage Eric gave a clear, concise explanation of what would happen including how the process would work with my insurance company. What Eric said, his workers did and within four days the work was done.
Eric then helped me find a contractor, Steve Kolbinger of Kolbinger Construction Services in Becker. It's extremely rare to have realization meet expectation. Steve and his team's work on the restoration was miraculous. The house looks equal to or better than before the disaster. Steve also helped reduce the construction dust and dirt by screening off the rest of the house to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment.
Your house would be in good hands when using these services."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.
