"I am very pleased with Protech's service, from the first call I made to their office to get information to the quality of service the technicians provided.  The person I talked to on the phone was professional, friendly, and did not pressure me to use their service.  He was informative, and quickly sent me a quote via email.  The job was scheduled within one week and two service people came out on time, and I could not believe how quickly they worked!  They said they do 3 jobs a day.  They did a neat, professional job and it's been installed for about 3 weeks and it works like it is supposed to.  Before the system was installed the radon level was between 4.1 and 5.6 and now it's less than 0.3 which I understand is less than a detectable amount.  I chose this company off of Angie's List because of the good reviews, so I thought I should let other people on Angie's List know that I also recommend them. <br />"

"RSM arrived 15 minutes before scheduled time. RSM explained the total process of the Lead Inspection/Risk Assessment. <br /> They walked us through the process and anwsered all our questions. They had 2 team members at our property to conduct the inspection. They used a piece of equipment called an XRF Analyzer that lets you know the lead content of every painted surface. It was a very detailed inspection. For example in each room they check every area - all walls, floors, every component of the windows and doors, in closets they checked everything even the shelfs and shelf support, baseboard , walls, ceiling and floor. They also checked every exterior area, the garage, the basement and the attic. They also did soil samples. Please call me if you need more info it was very detailed. <br />"

"This company was well represented by their employee, Jessie. He was a consummate professional and very knowledgeable about flood restoration and what it took to correctly dry out my basement. He was conscientious about his quality of work, showed up when he said he was coming, and patiently answered my zillions of questions. When other employees came to help Jessie, they were just as professional. He found additional water under the floor tiles and removed them. To say I was pleased is an understatement. I would recommend this company again in a heartbeat. <br />"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Canton, MI

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.
