"He spent a long time with me, and was very pleasant in listening to my needs. It did take a while to get the sketch from him but I think there were some tech issues with the Angie's List contact system.
We did eventually connect and when I reviewed the sketch, I found there was a modification needed. I contacted the vendor and he responded in a few days with a revised plan. 
His response time was a little sluggish. Regardless of whether it was due to technical difficulties, or anything else, I'm not overly enthused to hire a contractor to spearhead my full kitchen remodel whose responses are slow. I had hoped to find a contractor with decent ratings and an interest in possibly doing the complete gut of my kitchen, but he didn't show any interest in the actual project. The drawing he provided was adequate; not terribly detailed?  and that's as far as we will go. 
The actual date of service may be a bit off, as I don't remember when this was performed.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Some of the signs that could mean your water is contaminated, such as cloudiness or bubbliness, could also be non-problems that don’t affect your water’s potability. However, if your water smells or tastes strange, it’s a good idea to stop drinking it and test it immediately. If your well water is contaminated, the best way to discover that is to test it.

Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove is considered hazardous waste, contact your local hazardous waste facility.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

Lead testing in residential properties involves collecting samples from paint, dust, soil, or plumbing and analyzing them in certified laboratories to accurately identify lead levels.
