"Gabriel was super responsive and friendly. He was very accommodating with our schedules to coordinate the testing and it all worked out well. Our house is very old and we were concerned that certain modifications that were done over the years fell into the era of asbestos being a common building material so we wanted to have the area tested before ripping a closet out. Gabriel called me as soon as the test results came back to let me know what the deal was (and then obviously sent over the official reports as well). I'd definitely recommend him without reservation."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.

Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.
