"Mike Smith, The Mold Hunter, Inc., was an extremely easy and professional mold remediation company to work with. Mike was prompt with communications throughout the process, answered all our questions and gave detailed explanations of what was going to be done from testing to remediation, and he provided a detailed and accurate estimate of the cost. His employees were very thorough, competent, and respectful of our property. Mike even gave suggestions as to how we could do some preparation ourselves in order to save money. What more could you ask? We highly recommend Mike for testing and mold remediation."

"My house had been infested with mold for countless years, I hadn’t the money to hire anyone. My friend’s family had just started their business recently and told me they would do the job for cheaper so I asked; they did. They were quick and respectful—in and out—and made sure to not shirk an inch of the property. I’m grateful to them I can finally breath freely in my house without worry of inhaling toxic materials. While they were there one of their workers, Juan, noticed a leak of sewage in the basement. He spent the rest of his available time to dry out the sewage and properly clear the leak. Now I might be a bit biased, but, I would highly recommend hiring them and if I have another issue with mold (MAKE SURE TO TEST REGULARLY PEOPLE!!) I’ll call on them."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.

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.

“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.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

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.
