"Top notch service from beginning to end. Penelope and the Boston Lead team provided what the local DPH personnel stated was, "the most complete lead abatement plan I have ever seen. I wish all reports were this nice." BLC was also instrumental in working through a crowded field of unprofessional and overpriced abatement contractors to find a qualified and affordable team to complete work. For those navigating the confusing and complicated world of lead abatement, I cannot recommend BLC enough. Efficient, affordable, and responsive from start to finish."

"I picked this company based on the reviews on Angie's List and also on the fact that they do Sunday inspections.  The company was very professional from the outset and the woman I spoke to on the phone was very friendly.  They emailed me confirmation of our appointment and items included in the service.  I called a couple days later to add a few water tests.  George arrived on time and did a very thorough job - four hours.  He was kind and informative, and I felt immediate relief after the first 5 minutes of our encounter with him.  I could tell that he knew exactly what he was doing.  The inspection lasted from 10 am to 2:30 pm or so and I received the report by email by noon the next day.  Radon air test report was emailed to me prior to the inspection.  Water test results were emailed to me the day after the inspection.  I appreciated that the company arranged to perform these tests in advance of the inspection as the results take several days to return, and I had a tight window until contract.  I would highly recommend this company. <br />"

"The initial visit was fine. The company never came back to pick up the RADON test which they were supposed to retrieve and mail in for results was never retrieved. Called several times to try and remedy this failure to complete service; I am still waiting. I received report in a timely manner but sent questions via email and they were never answered. Overall not I am not a happy customer. Would not recommend plenty of options go somewhere else."

"Let's go back to the puff back 5 years ago. I first met with a rep from Servpro. He arrived looking like he'd just come from a pub...stained shirt, 1/2 untucked, sweaty and overall unprofessional. Then I met with Steamatic whose rep looked like a neurosurgeon who had just come from surgery ~ sterile. The rep was courteous, professional, articulate, informative and compassionate to my home needs, scheduling, etc. No brainer, I chose Steamatic. When I told the Servpro rep that I had found alternate remediation providers, he was miffed, rude and offensive.  <br /> Steamatic were the first onsite and the last to leave (both disasters). For the puff-back, they referred me to all necessary contractors (engineers, etc.) to best handle my remediation and insurance claim. For the frozen pipe, their equipment was placed and maintained 24/7 (weekend stop-ins, etc.) for almost 3 weeks. They handled the commercial dry cleaner to come out and, if and when they could not be onsite, they contacted me to assure me that they would be out the next day but should I need anything I was assured they were available 24/7. <br /> What went wrong? I didn't take their advice to handle a private adjuster and a general contractor. The burst pipe remediation was a job that appeared to be manageable by me at the onset (I was home, and the water was shut off within hours of the pipe bursting). The insurance adjuster sent by my company was outsourced due to the horrific winter we had and lack of available adjusters. Said adjuster neglected to report that the hardwood floors on the lower level were also damaged (and the entire level floors would have to be refinished due to no break in the hardwood flooring). My plight to have a fair claim pay out was unending from then on. Steamatic were the professionals I sought for advice and they patiently and steadfastly helped me with each hurdle.  <br /> Steamatic was fairly priced and the company overall was professional, thorough, job work comprehensive and communications with me throughout each phase of the remediation exceptional. The price was on point to their quote and, in one stage of the work, they noted that we had both neglected to list an area on the original walk through. Steamatic did that work at no charge. Most notable was the company no-funny-business policy that I have come to value and respect. I suggested they include the private labor fees I paid out on their statement to the insurance company and we'd settle later. Their mission to provide honest, fair and actual rates was reflected in their firm denial of my request. Notable integrity and responsible corporate handling. The staff were qualified, trained, certified professionals who genuinely enjoy their work, their company and helping customers get their homes back to the condition it was in prior to the disaster.  <br /> It is no wonder that Steamatic is the contractor used by countless hospitals, academia, major corporations and government institutions spanning the state. As a former Fairfield County resident and longtime New Haven County resident, I endorse Steamatic as the ONLY remediation service contractor to consider. No holds barred. <br />"

"They came to my home at the time stated. I had supplied the materials and they did the physical work. The job was completed by the end of the day and they also bought the materials that I had overbought and that redused my final bill."

"Glenn Murdock, the owner, showed up promptly to examine my basement and prepare an estimate. He was very knowledgeable about the law and the health risks. The work took five days. His men showed up on time each day, put in a full eight hours, and were very responsive to any questions and concerns I had. Before starting, they had to build a containment chamber in my basement with negative air flow, so no asbestos fibers whooshed up into the main house or out the bulkhead door. After they finished, a technician from ChemScope in North Haven came to take air samples and confirm that we had no ambient asbestos fibers. The workers then took me on a walk-through, and I could see the pipes and cement floor were now immaculate. I thought I was done, but now the story gets interesting. A week later my husband and I demo'ed the wood paneling in the basement (to Dri-Lok the masonry) and found -- more asbestos! Within three days Glenn sent two of his men over to remove the additional fifteen feet or so of pipe wrap. Once again, great response and great result. Overall, the only negative about these folks is, they're pricey. My initial contract was for $4725, half to be paid after the containment chamber was built, the other half following the air samples and walk-through. It cost an additional $500 to remove the additional stuff we found because it wasn't covered in the initial contract. No one who does this work is cheap, however, and Murdock got great results. The work started and ended exactly on time, my second problem was resolved fast, and my basement is now clean, clean, clean. I'd hire them again, although I hope I don't have to."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Ellington, CT

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.
