"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."

"Excellent value!! Valley Inspection Services was over a thousand dollars than another quote I received, yes you read that right. The samples were sent to an independent lab that probably multiple inspection services use so no lack of quality of test results. Service was quick. Willie was honest and trustworthy and I mention this only because he is new to having his own company and it shows a bit. He is licensed with the state and they have him in their system. The report I received does what I needed it to do. The only hurdle was a a smoother payment and email process would be nice. Other than that, support this guy so he can grow his company. Great value and great service."

Charter Oak Environmental, LLC is a state licensed Environmental Services company. We are not a testing company, it is a conflict of interest and in some cases illegal to do both. We are happy to offer a Free Consultation but we do the actual work we remediate, abate, and mitigate the Asbestos, Mold, Lead, PCBs, Radon, etc. Charter Oak Environmental is fully insured, with general liability for environmental work (this is very important unless the insurance is specifically for environmental work you and your family will not be covered), workers compensation, professional liability, and pollution insurance(again a very necessary coverage that all environmental companies should have). There is no charge for consultations and quotations. We accept credit cards and have financing available through third party providers.

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Newtown, 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.
