"It Went great. David returned our call promptly. Came out and gave us a very fare quote. We set a date and time. David and his crew were right on schedule. They removed that large tree and debris completely. They trimmed up the other tree touching our roof. They literally cleaned and raked up anything left of the tree and debris. They did an incredible job, and they did it quickly. I can honestly say I was very impressed with there work and professionalism. I will refer David to all my friends and neighbors."

"It was good to have a comparative estimate for the damage our home sustained. I later found out that the company has a training company for insurance adjusters. The owners were trained by some of the top Insurance providers & wanted to offer the service to homeowners & agents. The ease of talking with them about the claim process & feeling less like a dummy for not knowing what is my insurance policy (they helped me with that too) relieved my anxiety a whole lot."

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. 

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

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.

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.
