"We had a high lead test from our pediatrician using the heel prick. We were really concerned and did some home lead tests, but didn't find anything that was clearly responsible for our son's lead level. We found Tonya and gave her a call, and she was incredibly helpful. She offered the exact service we were looking for-- someone to come out and do an investigative look at our house, including various tests and asking us about our habits. But she also strongly encouraged us to get a blood lead test, because the heel prick tests can be faulty. On her recommendation we did that-- and the blood test came back normal! Tonya could have taken our money and preyed on our concerns for our son, but instead she gave us a lot of her time and guidance to help us make a good decision. While I hope I will never have to use her services, I would do it in a minute if we needed to figure out sources of lead!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.
