David Silver, IEP/LMA; holds New York State licensing as a mold assessor, he also has first hand personal experience with molds affecting the health of loved ones in not one but two homes. He has undergone the process of water damage and mold discovery countless times and had his own home undergo extensive demolition, removal of molds, cleaning and rebuilding. He brings a much needed level of empathy to those who are embarking on this kind of endeavor. He recognizes and is sensitive to the high level stress and financial cost this can bring.

"David was not only proficient and professional with a high level of expertise but had such deep heartfelt compassion and empathy for my situation. It was a refreshing and comforting experience to work with David. Given all the unknowns, David's patience and ability to educate me on the potential outcomes really helped to settle me down. I like to know what I'm facing and I feel like David and First Stop Environmental gave me life affirming choices. Thank you."

"The communication was terrible, a job that should have taken a week took 3 weeks some days no one showed up. The job wasn't completed because I got fed up with time and lack on consistency. The work was subpar and not done properly missing j channels- gaps in wrap install. Going to cost me more to fix/complete the work. I do not recommend."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.

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.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.
