"Our township now requires a Lead paint Inspection for our rental property in Woodbridge, NJ. We contacted AAA Lead Professionals and they came out the SAME day ! The technician was on time, polite and friendly and provided a thorough inspection using an electronic testing machine. We received the results within 24 hours (ON NEW YEARS DAY !!!) by Donya, the office manager, and now that we have this lead free certification, we do not have to repeat this test again ! We could not be happier with the professionalism, efficiency and how they kept their word on every expectation. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. George LaTorre, property owner, Fords, NJ"
"Mike is very detailed, knowledgeable, and friendly! Even when on the phone, he explained the whole process, and he even explained why most home inspectors did not perform lead inspection tests. He arrived on site early and educated me on each aspect of the home, what he was looking for, and how it would affect me as a future home owner. I bought my own lead testing swabs and followed him throughout the inspection, he pointed out the places where I should test. His report was submitted the next day and was incredibly detailed. His pricing is comparable to other home inspectors but he is an amazing person to work with."
"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."

"Nick responded quickly to my call and arranged to come later that same day. He worked carefully and discovered exactly where the problem was. It was very reassuring.

"Eddy and his team trimmed seven pine trees for us, and the result was outstanding. Excellent service! They were prompt, friendly, and very professional. Very fair price, great work, cleaned up everything (couldn't tell they had even been here, except for the outcome). Eddy really knows his trees, and we recommend Double Tree with our highest recommendation!"
Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts
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.
Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.
Testing typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on the number of samples and laboratory analysis.
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.
You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.
