"Unfortunatley, our 3 year old was found to have elevated levels of lead in her blood. We were contacted by the Health Department an order to abate. We contacted Homeguard, we had heard good things about them from my cousin that used then for asbestos abatement work. My cousin told me that they were easy to work with and very patient. She said they were very nice people. This was true for both the office staff and the techicians who were at my home for about 8 days. The cost, compared to other estiimates, was reasonable. The project was completed as promised. We were very happy because this could have been a nightmare."

"The work was good enough, and the report thorough, but -- For a small, 1600 sq-ft house, they did 7 mold samples, 3 tape lifts for pollen, one radon air test and a written report -- cost me $1600. A little homework after the fact made me realize it should've cost half that much. I was a newbie freaking out about mold and feel I was overcharged. Worse, they recco'd a remediation company that quoted me $30K to clean it all. Felt like they were tag teaming me. I found a green solution company that did it for 1/5th that much. Lesson is, do your homework before pulling the trigger."

"I contacted them by their website, explained my situation, and they were back to me within 24 hours. As I was travelling, they coordinated with my son for access, showed up at the scheduled time, did their testing, and left. The results were available immediately, and they communicated with Window World to share the results. <br />"

"My wife and I purchased the home on the basis that the home inspection seemingly had no red flags. I purposely waited to fill out this review so I could get to know my new home and truly confirm the home inspection results. Unfortunately for my family?s sake, the home inspector that came to our home was not as thorough as his 3 hour stay lead us to believe. Like any home, it had a few small simple items that needed to be addressed, which we took care of. However, one major item that should have been clearly evident to a professional was that the deck on the back of the home was improperly attached (verified by another inspection company and a separate contractor). The deck was lagged to the house on top of the siding and there was clearly no flashing installed as flashing would have been visible from the underside of the deck. This one oversight on the home inspection led me to find very extensive water damage on the rear of my home spanning the entire 35 feet of the deck. This required that the 35?x10? deck, which is 12? off the ground, needed to be removed from the home, all damaged material, including the entire rear wall under the deck, was removed and replaced and properly flashed. During this process I contacted Tiger, seeing as how on their website they clearly state that they ?care about our customers? and ?we stand behind our inspection? to see if they really would live up to these to statements. This phone call was not intended to ask for them to fix the problem, but simply for them to come out again to look and acknowledge the miss on their part and maybe at the least refund my inspection cost for not doing a thorough inspection which is what I paid them for. After speaking with a woman from the office on Sept 21, 2015 who agreed that it was terrible that the water damage was not found, she simply looked up my information and passed me off to the gentleman who initially completed the home inspection. He contacted me on Sept 23 2015, we spoke on the phone and after 11 minutes I was left with ?there is no need for me to come out and view it; it states right in our paper work that we don?t check flashing? and there was nothing for them to do. <br /> I purposely waited to write this review now having a clear mind seeing as how my house is finally weather tight and ready for winter. Looking back on the inspection day, one rather large flag I missed was that the inspector showed up without a ladder, how does one complete a truly in-depth inspection without one?  <br />"

"John was extremely punctual and kept to his word when the job would be finished. He kept a constant line of communication with me about what he was doing and even educated me a bit when I asked him certain questions about the project. He was extremely efficient on getting the job done and has a inherit keen eye for detail. His quality of work was exceptional and I would highly recommend him for any tiling job. <br />"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Farmington, 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.
