"Ralph and his team are true professionals. We needed a full interior remodel and him and his crew were the best decision I made. I had a strict budget and needed it done as fast as possible. Ralph took this into consideration and did everything he could to take this into account while also making sure that he wasnt cutting corners. I also felt safe and secure with the team as they were always professional, respectful, and communicative. The actual job done was amazing. I needed hole repairs, plumbing, electrical, cabinet/flooring removal and installation, painting, and window replacements. They got everything done! I believe I made the best decision by hiring PDX Top Finishes."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

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.
