"Excellent. All communications were good. Ms. Kleinhammer was very responsive. She took the time to clearly indicate the situation with respect to lead testing for my unit. She was early to our appointed time to inspect the unit. She was professional in her work and provided all the information that I needed to complete the registration of the unit with MDE. I will use this company again if I have a need for other environmental testing. <br />"

"He showed up late, as he got lost. (Totally understandable since the house is new-ish, and you have to type in the wrong city & zip code to get to the correct house.) I was not there but my husband said he was very thorough and knowledgeable. I'm sure the pricing is in line with others, but he was lucky since there weren't many things to point out. (Also the office staff was very nice, as they offer a discount to repeat customers, first time home buyers, seniors etc. Even though this isn't our first house, it's our first house in DE, so she extended the discount to us.)"

"We were very satisfied with all aspects of their service. The technician, Chris, was extremely polite, knowledgeable about water systems, very professional, and was patient about answering our many questions. He changed the sediment filter and tested our water at the end of the visit to be sure everything was right."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in North East, 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.
