"On Thanksgiving weekend, we had a pipe break in the ceiling of a bedroom in our newly remodeled basement.  The standing water in the bedroom was several inches deep and also seeped into the mechanical room and a bathroom.  The damage was enough for Cameron to have to remove materials down to the studs.  I had informed him that I wanted minimal impact of the clean up and restoration due to the fact that we had just lived through the dust and chaos of a remodel.  He and his crew carefully moved our furniture out of the room, put down plastic on all surfaces that the workers would be using, sealed the affected room with plastic and a zippered door and made every effort to contain the dust and debris.  It was probably the cleanest job I've ever experienced in the many construction projects we have undertaken!  Since it was right in the middle of the holiday season, he also did his very best at making sure the impact on our home and family was minimal.  He was extremely thorough and hard working.  He made sure the work was done quickly and done right.  He also referred us to a restoration company to do the construction and checked back to make sure we were completely satisfied even though his work on the project was complete.  We have experienced several floods and have done many construction and remodel projects through the years and our experience with Cameron was one of the most positive experiences we have had.  We highly recommend him and his company.

"I called the Guy to inspect my place for Mold. I got an immediate response setting up an appointment for the next day. The Guy promptly showed up for our appointment, then went to work inspecting and analyzing the situation and what needed to be done. The Guy, is very competent, thorough and gets right to the issues with his professional work. I am very satisfied with the Guy's analysis inspection and results. I would recommend the Guy, for any type of work in his area of expertise to anyone with a similar question of Mold etc."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

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.

You can expect to pay between $200 and $400 for a lead inspection, where your local lead testing pro will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer. Lead risk assessments are slightly different and run around $800 to $2,000. A pro may find lead during an evaluation, and create a removal strategy.

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week (2-7 days), depending on factors like laboratory processing times and the volume of samples being analyzed. Expedited services may also be available for urgent situations.

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.
