"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

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.

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

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.

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week (2-7 days), depending on factors like laboratory processing times and the volume of samples being analyzed. Expedited services may also be available for urgent situations.
