Q: What does lead dust look like?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you test for lead in your water?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-test-for-lead-in-water-for.htm">How you test for lead in your water</a> 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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover lead paint removal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How long does lead dust stay in the air?

• <div><p>When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible</p></div>

Andrew and his brother Thonmas did a good job at removing a very large Maple from our property. Had the work done in January so avoid lawn damage and the equipment still left large divots in the yard. Not their fault by any means they did their best to avoid it.
