"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"
"Very through and arrived early. Took time to answer questions and concerns we brought up as we wanted to make sure the house was up to building code before renovating. Would recommend without hesitation."
"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. Nick is knowledgeable, polite and friendly and really cares about his work. I have no reservations about recommending him with 5 stars."
"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
If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.
Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.
Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.
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.
With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen.
If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.
