"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

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. 

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.

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.
