"We had water seepage/damage in our basement and had to pull up all of our floor tiles in 2 rooms in the basement before we could install a new sump pump/drainage tile system. The floor tiles looked suspicious for asbestos containing materials (ACM). We took a sample of the floor tile to Bussey Environmental to be tested. Bussey confirmed that the tile (but not the mastic underneath) contained ACM. Bussey recommended Bluestone to remove and abate the floor tiles and mold. We hired Bluestone and they gave us a very detailed proposal (much more detailed than other proposals we received) and a reasonable price. Bluestone arrived on the appointed time and day (even came a little earlier). The crew chief was James (Jimmy) Santellano. Jimmy was very professional and friendly and could not have been more accommodating. Bluestone removed all of the floor tiles and abated the mold in the basement rooms. They performed the work in accordance with strick industry standards for removal of hazardous materials. They finished the job in about 6-7 hours and after they finished we had the air tested for both asbestos and mold. We passed all of the tests. Bluestone left the job both clean and neat and ready for the next phase of our basement work. We would recommend Bluestone very highly."

"I THOUGHT THAT THE WORK WAS A LITTLE SLOPPY. THE BINDING AGENT USED ON THE PIPES WAS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND WALL. I FELT A LITTLE MORE TIME TO COVER AREAS NOT BEING SPRAYED SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN."

"They were very professional honest and showed up on time. Another company to come out and they were trying to pitch me and the idea of me destroy my entire basement to get rid of some mold. The guys at Black rock environmental did not! They even took an air test afterwards confirming everything they said they would do. I strongly recommend them. Two thumbs up!"

FAQs for toxic lead service projects in Chicago, IL

Your standard homeowners’ policy won’t pay for lead paint removal because insurers treat it as a maintenance issue, not a sudden loss. If a covered event like a fire or flood damages a lead-painted wall, the carrier will replace that wall but not cover full abatement. Plan to budget for lead removal yourself, or look into state or local grant programs that offset the cost.

Yes, you can sell, but federal law says you must disclose any known lead paint and share paperwork for past remediation or encapsulation. Honest disclosure protects you from legal trouble and helps buyers understand any work that still needs doing. Many sellers also offer a closing credit to cover future abatement, so talk to your real estate agent about local norms.

Lead paint contains the heavy metal lead, which becomes airborne when the coating chips, peels, or turns into dust. Breathing in or swallowing that dust allows lead to accumulate in your body and can trigger headaches, cognitive delays, organ damage, and other serious issues, especially in children and pets. 

Because the danger hides in everyday activities like opening a window or sweeping a floor, complete removal or professional encapsulation is the safest long-term fix.

Plan on spending $200 to $400 on lead inspection costs. A certified tester will scan walls, trim, and other surfaces with an X-ray fluorescence device, zeroing in on high-risk spots throughout your home. The report will spell out where lead is present and how severe it is, giving you the facts you need to budget for removal and keep everyone safe.
