"Thank you so much for a professional and efficient job! We had a flood in our basement and needed to have our carpet cleaned. Eco Pro cleaned the back of the carpet before it was put back in place. After the carpet was re-installed, they came back to do a complete cleaning of the entire basement carpeting. We put this carpeting in pretty recently, and Eco Pro saved us from needing to replace it. The carpet looks amazing and we are so happy to finally have our basement back!"

"Avoid Guardian Basement – False Promises and Poor Customer Service Two years ago, I hired Guardian Basement to fix a water issue on the front wall of my basement. Joel came out, sold me on their system, and guaranteed I would have a dry basement. We also replaced two sump pumps and had the sump well dug deeper. The main selling point was their lifetime guarantee. Fast forward two years, and I have the exact same problem. Every time there is significant rain, water rushes through the same wall. I reached out to Guardian Basement, and Joel scheduled a time to check it out. His tone was completely different this time—defensive and dismissive. Within five minutes, he claimed, “Your system is clogged.” He made this assessment without any real inspection—just by looking at the cement floor and wall. Now, here’s the catch: If you look closely at their so-called lifetime warranty, clogs are not covered. So despite spending thousands of dollars, I’m back to square one. To make matters worse, Joel was incredibly condescending and unpleasant to deal with. After this experience, I looked into their licensing with the state of Maryland and found multiple complaints against them. I am now in the process of submitting my own complaint as well. I would never recommend Guardian Basement to anyone. Save your money and go with a company that truly knows what they are doing and stands behind their work. If I could give them a negative number of stars I would."

I make sure that I treat any potential customer the same way I would like to be treated if I were to have a lead inspection done. I clearly try to explain what the person can do to help themselves prepare for the inspection, so that they are aware of what I will be looking for ( or any lead paint inspector ) when the inspection occurs. I am a sole proprietor so I am not sending someone to the jobsite that you have never spoken to before. My inspection fee is $100 per unit ( house or apartment )and $12 per dust wipe.Area's outside of the Baltimore Metro area may require an additional $25 fee. Every unit is required to have at least 1 dust wipe per room if you have all replacement windows. Any rooms that have non-replacement windows require a 2nd dust wipe. Feel free to call and ask questions for more detailed information. I am currently certified by the MDE and you can find my business listed on their website. Please call as far ahead of the needed inspection date so that you have time to prepare for it. Unfortunately, any work conducted outside of the Baltimore Metro area, there will be a trip fee included.

"Had a great experience with Chris Kuper at Basement Detective! My basement flooded from non-stop storms and I needed a sump pump installed along with complete renovation of my basement. They were very competitive in pricing and outstanding in results. Chris even helped coordinate with the contractor doing my basement renovation after the sump was installed to make sure none of the drainage was disturbed by the new work being done. I have since weathered at least 3 large storms and can hear the sump working as needed. Very happy with the results!"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Lutherville Timonium, MD

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.
