When Penoco first opened its doors in April of 1988, founders Donald Peno and Timothy Sommer wanted to provide their customers with unbeatable service. Not just any service but a service no one else in the environmental contracting industry would be able to match. By continuously offering the best quality of work, along with the most courteous and professional experience, their business quickly grew and to date, has resulted in nearly 7,000 successful jobs. By 1996, Penco had grown immensely, taking on countless jobs and hiring several more employees. The time had come to relocate from their cozy office at Cato Park to a much larger space in Pleasant Gap. In 2009, to accommodate the company's continuing growth, the building went under major interior renovations. Over the past 25 years, Penoco has presented superior service to residential homes, offices, churches, hospitals, and schools.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Lead testing prior to purchasing a property ensures that the new owners are informed about potential hazards, prevents health risks associated with lead poisoning, and facilitates timely remediation.

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week, depending on laboratory processing times and the volume of samples analyzed.

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.
