"I requested a quote for lead abasement for exterior paint on a house I want to buy. First-rate construction took the time during an initial phone call of explaining options for dealing with the lead paint along with some general estimates. They are definitely well qualified in dealing with toxic substances. I did not hire because the house seller did not want to address the lead paint issue."

"We recently moved into a 1930 house and had refinished our hardwood.  When removing and reinstalling <br /> the ¼ round on the base board we ended up with a lot of tiny paint chips left all over the house.  We were a little <br /> worried they may be lead based and with our 10 month old we didn?t want to take any chances.  I called Jeremy and he was <br /> able to schedule an appointment for the next day.  He came out and scanned all the walls, baseboards, doors for lead and also took dust samples to send off to the lab.  He called up back with the results and talked me though the right way to clean up the house (only the sun room came back positive for lead).  Jeremy was very helpful in answering all my questions and concerns.  <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Working with A1A Environmental was one of the most positive experiences I have had working with a company on a project for my home. They were knowledgeable, professional, and communicated clearly with me every step of the way. They were timely and efficient and did quality work. I would recommend them to anyone who needs asbestos, lead, and/or mold testing and removal for their home or business."

"The previous owner's of this home were part-time residents and had allowed the home to become quite musty and mildewed in their absence.  Acting upon a friend's recommendation, I called Paul Davis for an estimate and James came out that same day.  He inspected the house with me, identifying the mildew problem areas and the sources of the musty odors.  The price for everything that was proposed was quite reasonable and the work took place a few days later.  Day one consisted of cleaning all the vents and duct work, followed by fogging of the house.  The following morning the carpeting was deep cleaned.  The home is 2700 square feet, has two AC systems, 14 vents, associated air handlers, and six rooms with carpeting. Our house now sparkles and smells fresh and clean.  The carpeting looks and smells like it's brand new and there is not a hint of mold or mildew anywhere.  We couldn't be more pleased. <br />"

"We spoke with Terry and he actually answered most of the questions over the phone (for free). We could have stopped there but just to be sure asked them to come over and do the test. They got the results back to us quicker than expected and they were exactly what they anticipated. He provided excellent advice on how to deal with the problem. Note that Heaton environmental only performs testing, which allows them to provide unbiased advice. Terry was a real pleasure to work with and I would definitely use his services again."

"They did a very good job with the repair of the smoke damage. They were however supposed to replace any personal items that they damaged, and they had insurance to cover that. However, after several calls they still have not replaced  any the items that they broke."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Fairmount, GA

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.
