We have assembled a team of professionals in the field of residential and commercial structures with 100+ years of combined background in Indoor Air Quality, Real Estate, Insurance Adjusting, Construction and Bio-Science. We offer complete rebuilding and remodeling services with a specialty in restoring damage from mold, foundation damage, water and fire damage. \n\nFor Instance, no other company has our Rx4MOLD Dry Ice Blasting process for dealing with toxic mold and other biological contaminants. No other company can assert that they can do your remediation job 20% less than anyone else's bid. \n\nDry Ice Blasting is part of a new cryogenic process for bio-sterilization unique to our company . We provide the service; we sell licenses to carefully selected providers who can qualify for certification in the Rx4MOLD regimen. And we provide training and support to them. (See an animated demonstration of the Rx4MOLD patented system at www.Rx4MOLD.com.) \n\nTFB can promise you less time locked out of your house/building during mold/bio-toxin sterilization. Our process is less destructive. Less destruction means that our method is cheaper than any of our competitors. There is less to build back - less ALE (Aleternate Living Expense) for your insurance company OR FOR YOU! \n\nOne hundred percent of the buildings we have sterilized have passed independent engineer certification the FIRST time. That is not always the case even for the best of our competitors. It may not always be because we are better contractors - there are many excellent firms. But our PROCESS just cannot be beat for price, speed, thoroughness and reliability.. \n\nWe are able to do turnkey work in all areas of building, rebuilding and remodeling with the same skill and expertise that makes us stand out in the Indoor Air Quality business. \n\nThank you for the opportunity to meet you and serve you. \n\nMarc S.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

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.

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.
