"When my son tested positive for lead I was obviously very anxious to get my home tested. I reached out to my local Department of Health for guidance and they told me to make sure that whomever does the testing be EPA certified and use XRF, which is why I chose Lead and Mold Detectives. They got back to my request for an estimate in record time and made an appointment for me for the following week. Tested the entire house using XRF and kept me in the loop throughout the process. Very happy with their work and would use them again in the future."

"I recently hired Elite Lead Paint Testing for an inspection on my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. From the very first call, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the entire process clearly. The technician arrived right on time, was extremely courteous, and handled everything with care — making sure to test thoroughly without disturbing any areas unnecessarily. The report came back quickly and was detailed, easy to understand, and gave me full confidence in the safety of my home. It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise with great customer service, but Elite Lead Paint Testing truly delivered on both. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs reliable, accurate, and professional lead testing. They made the whole experience simple and stress-free."

"Omar and his crew did a great job. We removed popcorn walls with asbestos which they then replaced with new drywall. They kept the original mouldings, reinstalled everything they took down with the removal, prepped the walls for painting and fixed our bulging ceiling tiles which was a very pleasant surprise. I highly recommend them."

Lead Testing and Removal FAQs, answered by experts

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

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.

Properties should be tested for lead every 2-3 years, especially if they are older, have undergone renovations, or show deterioration of paint or interior finishes.

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

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.
