"They were on time, professional and very knowledgeable about their craft. I learned quite a bit about the testing process. Due to the busy schedule, Jay came out as well. I learned why people don't just scrape off old paint before repainting in older homes. It's more expensive to do it the right way. I considered it more of a diy job, but Jay helped me realize the harm I would be doing. Thanks SBP solutions!"

"There are few times that I use a company and know, without any doubt, that I made the perfect choice. This certainly is the case with CES. I got 7 estimates and researched companies thoroughly before settling on CES. From the time Mike came to assess the job and give an estimate through the final testing to insure that the mold remediation was effective, Mike provided professional, expert information and service. He walked me through each step to make sure I understood what was happening and why. He and his team are calm, accommodating and will do what is needed to get the job done the right way. His pricing was very reasonable and, at no time, did he start suggesting add-ons. It turned out that when we opened a wall there was extensive damage to the frame, etc. that no one anticipated. Mike was able to get a carpenter out there the same day. They provided a reasonable bid and began work the next day. CES is one of the few companies that is large enough to have those kind of resources. Had I gone with one of the other companies, chances are I would have needed to find a contractor on my own, which would have delayed the mold remediation and inflated the price. He also was one of only two companies that could include restoring the rooms after remediation whereas most companies leave you to find your own painter, etc. In the end, after extensive carpentry and mold remediation, the areas he worked on look as good, or better, than before we started. Remarkable. I very rarely write reviews. I am so grateful to CES for what they did and how they did it that I wanted to demonstrate my gratitude and share the information with those of you who need to deal with the stress and mess of mold remediation."

"Excellent work. John News was very responsive right from the start. He and his workers removed all the carpet and the asbestos floor tiles that were the culprit. They arrived on time and finished the work leaving me a clean room and a certificate indicating the air levels at completion. My daughter in law had rejected living there when she was informed by a carpet salesperson that under the carpet in the family room were asbestos tiles. Now the room is asbestos free and my family is moving in next week. Thanks so much to John News and Roe Services. I would use them or recommend to anyone who is in need of this service. ???"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

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

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.

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. 

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.
