"We recently hired Kascon LLC to remove asbestos from our home. The popcorn ceilings and all drywall needed to be removed per test results from an independent lab. We found the Kascon estimator, Keith Carroll, to be friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He came to our home, took measurements, explained the process, and answered all our questions. He then provided us a competitive estimate in a timely manner. Bill, the foreman, and his crew were respectful, accommodating, and thorough. They left our home clean and asbestos-free.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

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.

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.

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

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.
