"Pro is an important part of their name, and they live it! Protech Environmental is a top notch contractor. We hired them to safely remove vinyl flooring that contained asbestos, after we found them on the WA state Labor & Industries Certified Contractors List. Use this list in combination with Angi before you have any asbestos remediation done. Protech's bid was the lowest bid we received, but that was not the only reason we chose them. Each time we contacted them, they responded within a few hours. We sent Protech and the other bidders questions about their plans for the job, including their workers' vaccination status (they are all vaccinated), how long the work would take, and other things. They responded promptly and completely, and came to the house in advance of the work to make sure they knew exactly what we needed. On the day of the job, they called us several hours before they were to begin, to tell us they had to deal with an equipment problem and would be here about an hour late. They weren't that late, only about 40 minutes. Once they began, they worked efficiently, finishing the work in less time than expected. An important part of asbestos abatement is the clean up at the end of the project, and they did a wonderful job. They did a great job of removing their barriers with only a few spots where their tape took small amounts of paint from the walls. Any staples were removed and the woodwork was not harmed. We are very pleased with Protech's work. We will recommend them to anyone we know and the next time we need a contractor we will look at them first to see if they offer the services we need."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

If you own a single-family home in WA, state rules allow you to manage minor containment. Start by taking photos of peeling or chalking paint for a professional to review. Avoid sanding, scraping, or dry-sweeping these areas. Instead, use a damp cloth to gently wipe away loose chips and reduce dust. Keep children out of the room and schedule lead testing and removal before using heat guns or chemical strippers.

Helpful?

Bellingham features dense concentrations of older homes in neighborhoods like the Lettered Streets, where multiple layers of old paint hide beneath newer coats. Properties near the waterfront also carry a high risk of soil contamination from historical industrial activity. Because the area has fewer certified specialists than larger cities, you must plan for longer scheduling timelines. Always disclose known hazards to your contractor when planning lead testing and removal.

Helpful?

The wet marine climate in WA requires a strict seasonal inspection routine. In the spring, inspect exterior window sills and porches for peeling paint caused by winter moisture. Schedule exterior lead testing and removal during the dry summer months. During the fall, check your property after windstorms and ensure you cover any contaminated soil. In the winter, monitor interior rooms for paint damage driven by heavy window condensation.

Helpful?

After completing lead testing and removal, state regulations mandate a formal clearance examination using dust wipe sampling. For ongoing maintenance in Bellingham, inspect encapsulated exterior surfaces every spring, as the high-moisture climate accelerates coating breakdown. You must also replenish soil covers like bark or sod annually, since heavy winter rains erode these barriers. Keep a written log of all paint condition inspections to satisfy future property sale disclosure requirements.

Helpful?

Strict safety protocols govern lead testing and removal to protect your household and the local environment. You must relocate all occupants and pets from the work area during the project. Ensure your certified contractor uses proper stormwater controls to prevent contaminated runoff from reaching Bellingham waterways. Professionals will also monitor prevailing winds to prevent dust spread and transport all dangerous waste to an approved local disposal facility.
