"Mr. Frank Trust and his employee, Toby, were prompt, extremely thorough, polite, professional and so considerate. Due to a leaking garage roof, mold and mildew developed and much of the stored items were destroyed. Mr. Trust and Toby spent about 7 hours cleaning, decontaminating and power washing the structure. They even cleaned, sanitized, wrapped and packed the personal items that could be saved. They did a fantastic job. Mr. Trust is a genuinely kind man. I’ve already recommended him to a friend. Thank you so very much for the service."
"CTG was very responsive, organized and timely on every aspect of their service. As part of a home sale, the buyer asked for us to encapsulate existing asbestos discovered from a home inspection. We needed a quick and complete response trying to help close on the sale of the home. The report (including pictures was received a couple of days after the services were performed. Their pricing was very good especially for the service and quick response. If you need this done...just hire them and get this off your plate."
"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"

"HomeSafe Environmental Solutions responded right away. She fully explained the testing process. She was very thorough and methodical and tested in multiple locations in house and outside. Her written report was meticulous and easy to understand. She was using the latest technology equipment.

"I truly could not have asked for a better company and people to fall into my lap when I was in need of mold remediation services. Andy did his homework on the issues of my mold problems and dug deep to help me as much as he could. His thoroughness is out of this world... he is knowledgable in the field and very trustworthy. His works got a little smudge of paint on my door mat coming into my home... you know where you wipe your feet from all of the worlds YUCK! When they returned from lunch, they had purchased a new one to replace it, I never even asked... very professional and kind of them to do so!! The work was completed as advised and the clean-up they did was above what most services seem to do these days. I was asked to check over the work a couple of times and if I wanted anything revisited they would certainly do so. I am very pleased with the promptness, professionalism and dedication this company has for it's clients. Thank you so much Andy and his crew for helping me keep my house safe! "
"It went well. He was polite, prompt and explained things so I knew what was going on. I would recommend this company to others as well as use them again if I need to."
Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
Properties should be tested for lead every 2-3 years, especially if they are older, have undergone renovations, or show deterioration of paint or interior finishes.
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
Lead paint test kits are not always accurate. Several factors can play into why a test kit provides an inaccurate result such as user error, sample viability, the age and condition of the paint, or difficulty interpreting the final result. If you are looking for 100% accuracy, hiring a professional lead paint test is the only way to get that piece of mind.
