"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

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.

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.

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?
