"Danisha was on time and took her time sampling every single possible source of lead in our house. It took almost a day (started at 9 and ended at 4 pm). She is very thorough, and did not rush the project. She promised to provide the report on a Friday and report was delivered electronically on friday morning. Me and my husband were eager to find out the result and we got the answers as promised. Highly recommend! "
"Prompt, professional staff answered all my questions regarding asbestos testing and asbestos removal (which I did not need because the tested sample was determined to be negative for containing asbestos) and the company provided me with a very thorough testing report."
If your home was built before the 1980s, there may be lead mixed into the paint. As the paint begins to chip and peel, it can release lead into the air and cause respiratory problems. Lead dust can also poison people living in the home. But there's no way to know if your home's paint is safe without an inspection. Find a local lead paint testing service that can inspect your home's paint.
Professional lead inspectors test the interior and exterior of your home for any signs of contamination. For example, they will test the exterior siding and trim for lead that can also contaminate the surrounding soil.
Local services can also help remove the lead from your home if they find any traces. They can seal the old paint or eliminate the chemical entirely. They can also test the water and soil for contamination from lead pipes.
If you live in an older house, there's a risk that lead is somewhere in your home. Type in your zip code and HomeAdvisor will find lead paint inspection services in your area.
