"Jim Hicks came out to the house and did a water test on our roof to determine the source of the leak. Previously we had another company come out and repair it with no luck. Jim found three leaks on the roof, all confirmed with a water test. Crew was scheduled quickly and they were very efficient. Best news is that the leaks are finally repaired and we can rest easy.

"
very good, provided helpful suggestions, very fair pricing even with change orders,. His strong point is that he knows what he is doing and does good work.  The majority of what I paid was do on completion of the job.  I'm a mechanical engineer and I'm used to working with people that have very good technical skills.   Mr. Newman may not have an engineering degree but he has a very good understanding of the technical aspects of construction and he has a good sense of what looks good.  He'd be a rich man if he had fewer interests and worked a 60 hr week."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Some causes of brown well water—like excess tannins or dissolved iron—don’t pose a health risk. In other cases, harmful bacteria might be the culprit. If your well water has suddenly turned brown, it’s a good idea to use a home water test kit to get a better sense of what’s going on with your water. Consider calling a professional for an expert opinion before drinking the water and hoping for the best.
