"I recently had a mold inspection done at my home by Green Home Solutions and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very first contact with Alissa, the customer service was top-notch — she was so polite, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She was happy to answer the several questions I had prior to scheduling and I was quickly impressed with her knowledge and expertise. Alissa scheduled my inspection promptly, which I really appreciated. Both Alissa and Brian showed a high level of professionalism and reliability throughout the entire process. Their industry expertise was evident in how they conducted the inspection, explaining everything clearly and answering all of my questions with patience. I was especially impressed with Brian’s quality work and attention to detail. He didn’t miss a thing and made sure to check all the possible problem areas. They also use organic, plant-based, and non-toxic products, which was a big win for me and my family’s health. Their pricing was fair and transparent — no surprises or hidden fees. After the inspection, they provided a helpful and thorough follow-up and inspection review, breaking down the results and walking me through the next steps. The end result was a clear plan of action, and I now feel confident that the problem is resolved. It can be hard to find companies you can truly rely on, but this one is absolutely trustworthy. Highly recommended!"

"I was very pleased with your services. It appears the application was applied properly, and the folks that provided the services were clean neat and prompt. The final inspection after the work was completed with Patrick, was also impressive as the company took the time to answer my questions, and also viewed the crawl space with me during the inspection. Very pleased. Thanks, Robert Rodgers"

"It was apparent they were very skilled. They quickly dropped the huge limbs without a scratch on the house, fence or sheds surrounding the tree. They arrived on time and cleaned the area to my satisfaction before leaving. And they were competetively priced! I can't say enough good things about this company."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.

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.

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.
