"CHE was recommended by my insurance company for the work provided. Large job of removing asbestos floor tiles and remediation of mold due to the ball being dropped by both my insurance company and restoration company hired by my insurance company. The estimate given my insurance company and amount invoiced were exact to the penny. The job was larger than originally estimated, and they were very busy, however I feel there could and should have been better communication with the homeowners . A 3 day job took a full week, which was no problem at all, but would have liked to have been better informed about exactly what was being done and when. Workers showed up on time as scheduled, but unfortunately, we were never quite sure when they were scheduled. That said, the basement in our 50+ year old home looks almost like new. The crew working was VERY courteous and left the place very clean and tidy when the work was finally finished. Quality of work was an A+, the only thing bringing down the total grade was the communication. Nobody likes a knock on the door early on a Sunday morning with no warning. We could have made arrangements to be out of their way had we only known they were coming to work on Sunday. The crew on site were more than understanding about these issues and were completely professional. A+ to the crew doing the job. <br>"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Alma, CO

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a strong chance it contains lead-based paint. Many pre-1980 houses also contain lead in their plumbing and decorative materials, so age alone is a significant red flag. Older homes near industrial areas face an even higher risk. Because you can’t confirm lead by sight, scheduling a test is the safest way to protect your family.

In older houses, lead can lurk in painted trim, window sashes, soil around the foundation, plumbing pipes, and even vintage hardware. The metal is toxic, and children and pregnant women are most at risk. Exposure can trigger developmental delays, learning problems, and organ damage. Because the EPA links even low levels to serious health effects, test every suspected surface and address any hazards right away.

A positive test means lead is present somewhere you can touch, breathe, or disturb. The next step is a full risk assessment to map exactly where the hazard lies and outline the safest fix: encapsulation, enclosure, or full removal. Repairs start at $1,000 but can exceed $10,000 for complete elimination, so act quickly and hire certified pros to keep your family safe.

EPA lead certification proves that inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement contractors follow federal safety rules under the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Program. The credential costs an average of $300, and certified professionals can legally test, contain, or remove lead hazards. Hiring a certified pro protects you from fines and ensures the work meets strict health standards.

Lead-based paint looks no different from any other paint, so you can’t identify it by color or sheen. Even flawless walls may hide it. If paint starts chipping, flaking, or peeling, schedule a professional test right away. Only laboratory-grade testing confirms lead and guides the safest fix for your home.
