"The Protech crew were very efficient and highly professional. The job entailed removing some 570 sf give or take of popcorn ceiling. Even though we're in N Seattle they arrived on time, thoroughly prepped the two rooms involved the first day and removed the popcorn on the second. Can't recommend Protech highly enough."

"Paul was punctual, and very informative on the condition of the attic and how to fix the issues he discovered...we had mold remediate before moving in 7 years ago and have been concerned of it coming back. When we noticed black spots reappearing, we called him. He gave us the peace of mind and a few suggestions to improve our attic ventilation efficiency."

"We ended up utilizing AAAFS for both lead testing and the resulting lead abatement. Faith was extremely professional and performed the testing in a very timely manner. The cost was much more competitive than other providers, without any loss of quality and a report to keep for our records. After finding that we had lead paint on our original exterior windows and trim, we got a quote and again hired AAAFS. Roxanne was very professional and EXTREMELY dedicated. She did quality work, and she and her work partner often had to work late into the evening to complete the job. There was never a complaint, and only a focus on how to keep moving forward to making our home safe. We would HIGHLY recommend AAAFS for lead testing or lead abatement."

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. 

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.

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.

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

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.
