3. How often should I schedule environmental testing?

It’s recommended to test whenever you’re buying, renovating, or renting a property—especially older buildings. Regular testing is also crucial if you’ve recently experienced water damage or suspect contamination.

🎨 Lead Paint Abatement

Question 1: When is lead paint a concern?

Lead paint is a major concern in homes or buildings built before 1978. If the paint is deteriorating, chipping, or disturbed during renovations, it can release hazardous lead dust into the air.

Question 2: Do I need to vacate the property during lead abatement?

We use EPA-approved abatement methods such as enclosure, removal, and encapsulation to safely eliminate lead hazards. Our team follows strict protocols to protect your family or building occupants during the process.

Question 3: How is lead paint removed?

In many cases, certain areas may be sectioned off, allowing you to remain in other parts of the home. However, for extensive abatement projects, we may recommend temporary relocation to ensure safety.

🧱 Asbestos Removal

Question 1: Where is asbestos commonly found?

Asbestos can be found in old insulation, floor tiles, roofing, drywall, and more—especially in buildings built before the 1980s.

Question 2: Is asbestos removal really necessary?

If the asbestos is damaged or disturbed, it can release fibers into the air, which are dangerous when inhaled. Removal is essential in these cases, particularly during renovations or demolition.

Question 3: Do you provide asbestos clearance testing?

Yes, after removal, we perform clearance testing to ensure your space is safe and free of asbestos fibers.

Question 2: How long does it take to remove a violation?

Question 3: Do you help with permits and re-inspections?
