"I used AAA lead professional for asbestos testing and remediation. Josephs company was professional and demonstrated a lot of experience. AAA tested my home, found asbestos and did the remediation as quoted in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Joseph and his team at AAA."

"They were on time, professional and very knowledgeable about their craft. I learned quite a bit about the testing process. Due to the busy schedule, Jay came out as well. I learned why people don't just scrape off old paint before repainting in older homes. It's more expensive to do it the right way. I considered it more of a diy job, but Jay helped me realize the harm I would be doing. Thanks SBP solutions!"

"Montclair township has a requirement for landlords to perform a visual lead paint inspection on a regular basis. Christian did this work for me, walking through my apartments and letting me know what spots needed to be touched up with paint. Then he provides a certificate to send to the town. Christian is communicative, reliable, prompt, and professional. He turned the certificate around really fast, too. I can’t recommend him more highly to anyone who needs environmental inspections in their home."

"I could not be happier with this company. They did the work right away, even working on the weekends. They were very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and how to get the debris tested they have been very responsive. They have continued to be helpful to me in dealing with the company that left the silica dust in my home. You will not be disappointed if you use this company. I have never seen a company that is so attentive to your needs.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

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.
