Mold remediation, fire/water damage restoration. We have been providing quality work for home owners and businesses in Southeast Wisconsin for over 30 years.

"Best description? Superior work. Thoughtful interaction and patience with the many questions. This was my first experience with work of this nature. Bo, the manager, could not have been more helpful. Alex and Ford worked endlessly to mitigate the mold and at the same time were informative and attentive to my questions. Excellence is the word that describes both their effort and the manner in which they took time to educate me on the remediation. Bo went out of his way to respond to both issues and questions."

"Perfect. Our salesman, Andrew, was prompt (which I expect), he listened to everything I had to say and if he disagreed with me on something he told me (I expect nothing less). I wanted gray cabinets and he told me why I shouldn't. We now have white. I made it perfectly clear to him that I wanted no surprises and if something happened I wanted to know about it immediately so we could remedy it. I picked the start date which was about 6 weeks out so that wasn't a problem. I chose the daily start and end times and it went off without a hitch. I knew there would be some disruption in my daily routine so knowing in advance a start and end time worked well for everyone. They cleaned up every day before they left for the evening. Andrew stopped by twice (I think) to see the progress. There were a couple of touch-ups and as soon as I made a call, someone was there the next day. They were more expensive than any other painting bids I received but after talking with Andrew, hearing about the guarantee, and that basically the job was going to be done until I was 100% satisfied, I decided to go with them."

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. 

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week, depending on laboratory processing times and the volume of samples analyzed.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

The four types of hazardous waste are toxic, corrosive, flammable, and reactive. These four types fall under the EPA’s designation of characteristic hazardous waste. The EPA also categorizes hazardous wastes as listed, which includes specific byproducts or unused chemicals from manufacturing and industrial processes, universal waste, including bulbs, mercury, pesticides, batteries, and various other common substances, and mixed waste containing radioactive material.
