"Wayne the owner is very professional and a joy to work with! I would recommend anyone that needs Mold Testing to use this company. He is very knowledgeable about the field and can help you understand the differences of what your house may have. This LLC is certified and sends the samples to the lab for testing. I just had my liver transplanted and need to confirm that it is safe for me to go to my house. He will write a report about what you have and then can be hired to remove it the correct way! I highly recommend this LLC for all your mold and bacteria needs! Out of 10 stars I would give 12!"

Received the outcome of the air quality report was given via phone on Monday and followed up on Tuesday with the paper report and invoice for the services.

"If you’re looking to get any type of inspection or home services then look no further. I recently became a customer of Justin Ake after trying to get my soon to be home inspected. Rick was dispatched to the property and went above and beyond, both explaining the inspection process and showing me key points in the houses plumping and drainage systems. As well as providing information on other tests and services the company performs. I don’t normally write reviews, but I have to say this is one business that takes pride in their trade."

Hi! My name is Brent Yocum and I am a certified inspector in the state of Pennsylvania."What is a certified inspector?" you may ask. A certified inspector meets all the requirements the state of PA has outlined for home inspectors. Some of these are maintaining specified limits for E&O (errors and omissions) and liability insurance, being a member of a nationally recognized Home Inspection association, a written report, participation in 100 or more inspections,etc. To learn more, contact the Attorney Generals office (under the state listing in the red or blue section of your Yellow Pages) and request a copy of Act 114. Or see me at the Better Business Bureau (www.mybbb.org). I can offer you a wide variety of one-stop Home Inspection, real estate (and non-real estate) inspections and Home Environmental testing, including water, asbestos, lead, mold, etc. I will give YOU personalized service and the utmost attention. After all, YOU are my client, and thats how it should be!\n\n Brent

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

Iron sediments from rusty pipes are not likely to cause health problems. While a glass of yellow-hued water is off-putting, it is generally safe to drink yellow water in the short term. But you certainly want to address this problem. In the meantime, switching to bottled water until the yellow water issue is resolved is a good idea. 

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
