"We noticed mold in our house and searched on Angi to find a solution. Mold Doctors Pros, LLC is the company we chose. The owner inspected our home and provided us with a quote to clean it up. We signed a contract for the service. Their truck came and we left the house. 45 minutes later, they demanded $750 more or they would have to replace our insulation for an additional $ 1,800-3,000. If we refused, then the contract stipulated that we had to pay $3000 for the team to stop in the middle of the service. We accepted the demand for the additional $750 with the waiver of the estimation fee. We knew we were being scamed at that point because there is a free estimation cost to the inspection. It is stated on the front of his business card. After the service was finished, we call and asked for a refund of the extra amount. The owner agreed if we signed a complicated "Hold Harmless" agreement. We refused, and that was it. The mold is still present in our house, so we doubt his team did anything, or if they did, then they did a poor job."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.

Iron sediments from rusty pipes are not likely to cause health problems. While a glass of yellow-hued water is off-putting, it is generally safe to drink yellow water in the short term. But you certainly want to address this problem. In the meantime, switching to bottled water until the yellow water issue is resolved is a good idea. 

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.

Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.
