"I would recommend this company for asbestos abatement. I was very grateful that they were able to help me in such short notice to remove the asbestos when another company did not show. I thought their price was pretty fair and was told by the mold testing company that they do good work. I would not hire this company to do anything else. I was in a bind and got a quote on what it would be to mud and paint the ceiling and paint the house. I was very very unhappy with the quality of the work of the painters he hired. I feel I should have been deeply reimbursed or discounted because the paint job was so bad. They got plaster everywhere on my kitchen cabinets and are unable to remove it so I must just look at it. They did not replace some of my lights and there are cracks in the seems and every worker I have comments on how bad the paint job is. Very dissapointed that I spent so much money for that. They came out to try and fix it and it was not even fixed. Maybe a little better on the ceilings. It was extremely hard to get the electrician that I hired through them to come up and finish the job here in Charleston. I believe he lived a few hours away and everything was just a headache. He was unable to find a certain part and I ended up having to research and find it online. We lost at least a week while he was looking for that."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

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.

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 removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.

No, you can’t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn’t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you’ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.
