Q: How long does it take to see test results?

• <div><p>A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won&rsquo;t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. </p></div>

Q: How are samples collected during testing?

• <div><p>Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect testing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to drink yellow water?

• <div><p>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. </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>
