"It went very well. The process only took a day and a half. The crew did a great job. They removed the mold and painted the walls. They were friendly and respectful of our home. They even went as far as to help me shovel my driveway while they were waiting for the inspector to come and approve that the work was completed."

"Leahe Development came out the next day after calling them to give me an estimate on fixing the water leak. Once over here they noticed the lose floor tile and mold on the pipes, which were also asbestos. They gave me a quote for fixing the water leak and gave me recommendations on the mold and floor tile. I then asked them if I should have them test the asbestos and mold. They stated that there was no need to test the mold as it was obviously visible. The same was stated about the asbestos pipe wrap but that if I wanted I could have it tested. The floor tile was a 9x9 and they stated that it and the glue that holds it down were probably asbestos as well and to confirm that they were they would take samples and have it tested if I wanted. They are licensed in Asbestos Testing and removal as well as licensed in Mold testing and removal and assessment. I told them to go ahead and test for the floor tile and glue. Results came back in two days and they gave me a quote to remove the floor tile, glue and the asbestos wrap on the pipes (which had mold on them). They gave me the estimate the very next day which I thought was very fast and I appreciated their timeliness. I checked around with two more asbestos companies to get a quote and one never showed up and the other ones price for the same work was almost twice that of Leahe Development. I hired Leahe Development to do the work and when they were done I was glad I hired them as they were there every day from the day they arrived until the job was done. They picked up the area every day before they left and left the area much cleaner then when they started. They had me back together in seven days from the day they started the job. The workers were very friendly and courteous. I was and am happy I hired Leahe Development and would definitely recommend them to others."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

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.

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.
