"I became very sick 2 years ago and finally decovered it was a mold issue in our house. We had a water leak in our basement due to a broken down spouting and mold in the upstairs closets from a water leak in our roof. Bob was our 3rd consultant, who finally gave us the answers we needed to solve our issues. We wanted to do the clean up ourselves so Bob came in as a consultant. Bob was fantastic. He went through the entire house explaining where mold most likely would be found and what to look for in identifying mold., how to increase air circulation to lower humidity levels and recommended we increase insulation in the attic to keep the house cooler. He then explained how to clean the surfaces to remove the mold, He advised what surfaces needed replaced, and when surfaces cannot be feasibly removed, how to seal them. Bob was happy to answer questions i had as we moved through the clean up process. Happy to say my health improved dramatically after the mold was removed. I highly recommend Farsight Management"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible

Yes, testing professionals typically provide reports with recommendations for safe lead removal.
