"Went extremely well. Phillip Clarke was the service provider from Rescue Services, and he was nothing but professional. When dealing with water damage and personal property loss it's an extremely disheartening and frustrating experience, however Phillip was empathetic to our plight and did everything necessary to remove any additional no hardships that go along with problems like this. It's rare these days to find great customer service coupled with excellent work and professionalism, but this company does it right. Would definitely recommend them to anyone with flooding issues."

"$100 for vents, another $75 for the main coming from furnace. They were very friendly and not at all pushy for additional services. Took about an hour, and now I can tell a difference. Would definitely use them again."

"Excellent! Everything went perfect, from buying my windows from D'Shae to Lanny and Kevin installing them. What a pleasure to do business with America's Best Choice. In this day and age it is hard to find quality products and quality service and I received both. When Lanny and Kevin left there was no mess or clean up for me, like they were never here but I had beautiful new windows."

"His responsiveness obviously is super duper, super duper, super duper. He comes at 6 o'clock in the morning, that's pretty darn good to me. He went to the home improvement store first, bought it and came over to install it; unbelievable. His punctuality is pretty darn good, excellent! I would absolutely use him again in the future."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

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.

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

Testing typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on the number of samples and laboratory analysis.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.
