"Very professional. Talked with Todd the owner. He was very knowledgeable and hesitant to give me an estimate to remove the flooring if tested positive. I pushed the issue and sent him photos and dimensions of the room. He came back with an estimate. The price he gave me for testing and removal wasn’t in my budget. I hired another Pro for testing. The test came back negative for any traces of asbestos."

"As soon as we sent out the need for testing, they had called right away on a Sunday, and the owner was able to book an appointment for the next day for testing! He tested every floor, and expedited the testing for us to ensure we knew the results right away. We are really grateful for how quick this process was and how accommodating their team is. Also, the price is very reasonable! 10/10 would book through Red Diamond Mold again!"

Lead Testing and Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

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.

Testing typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on the number of samples and laboratory analysis.

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

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.
