"After mold and some water damage was discovered in our walls, we had some major restoration to do. The place was highly recommended by a neighbor so we called and they offered the services we needed. I called a few other places to get a few estimates and the estimate I received from Fire Water Pros was competitive. I was very impressed by their quality of work and professionalism. They lived up to the highest professional standards, did the work in the stated amount of time and for the stated quote. I’m very grateful that our house is back to normal and the mold and water damage is gone. Just gone! I highly recommend them."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.
