"Outstanding. They did what they said they would, completed it when they said they would, and did it all at a fair price. Unlike Servpro who took advantage of the flood aftermath and price gouged with an excessive priced quote and a requirement to first get an industrial hygienist report (an additional $525 before they would even quote). Absolute Environmental, the President Patrick Rasmussen, and staff are first class. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any residential or commercial project. They delivered when we needed it most."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

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.
