"Jason came out to determine if we had mold in our attic based on some black marks we were seeing on our plywood, a contractor doing some work mentioned that it may be mold and that we should have it checked. We had another mold inspection company come out, confirm on visual inspection it was mold, comment they did not need to do an air test as there was no question, took some samples of the mold itself and our air ducts and said they would be in touch the next day with results. In the meantime, they sent their remediation person to give us a proposal for remediating it. We then never heard from them with the results and also had wanted to get another opinion and proposal to compare cost of proposals. This other company also charged us $ upon inspection and did not deliver the results. Therefore, we called up indoor environment (we were also looking for a "greener" option). Jason came out the next day to take a look at our mold to provide a remediation proposal. He stated the inspection for remediation is no charge unless he does air quality tests and then clearly explained what the charge would be for a single test and the control test. He arrived on time and took a look in our attic and said that we did not have a mold problem that it was just water staining. He was very confident about this and confirmed that we did not have a mold problem. He was very detailed in his explanations and did not rush out given that he no longer had a "job" to remediate. He spent a good deal of time with us answering all of our questions. If you need somebody you can trust, please call Indoor Environmental, we feel that they are in the business for the right reasons and very trustworthy. It was refreshing after what we had been though to feel that there are folks out there you can rely on during a vulnerable and stressful time."

"Ron was great. He was responsive when scheduling our inspection, he showed up on time, he wrote a detailed report that was electronically delivered and most importantly he was really fun to talk to throughout the inspection. Covering 3200 square feet of house looking for lead with a special gun could be a really laborious task but Ron made it interesting and fun and I really appreciated his thoroughness and care."

"Professional and thorough -- which you'd hope (sometimes in vain!) to get from any provider. What stands out is David's patience and thoroughness in explaining whatever the homeowner might have wanted to understand about the process, safety, etc. Even years later, when I reached out to ask for clarification about particular surfaces and safety, he graciously took the time to offer all the clarification I was looking for. Highly recommend."

"Thanks to Peter Larkin and All Out Deleading, I was finally able to close out a long, frustrating saga of getting my lead-paint-covered, dilapidated windows replaced, along with some general deleading. Just to summarize, the work was done quickly and professionally and the windows themselves are of high quality, efficient, (Mercury Excelum EOS+) and look good, too! Peter was very responsive and communicated well throughout the process, and never fed me even an ounce of BS. You might have to remember to call him sometimes, but he's always there when you do. I thought the price was very reasonable for the scope of work (about $17k for 25 double glazed windows plus assorted exterior lead abatement, clean up etc) and was definitely lower than some others I found. If you're going crazy figuring out how to navigate Mass lead laws while also getting some actually good windows out of the process, just call Peter and he'll take care of you. Anyway, read on for the saga, if you're interested. I started the process of finding someone to replace my lead-paint-covered windows last September, and let me tell you I have learned a lot more about state lead remediation requirements than I had ever imagined I would. Let me just caution anyone in the same situation that there are two licenses/certifications that a contractor can have, a "lead safe" and an "authorized deleader," and for windows you need the latter if you want to end up with a certificate of deleading. Anyway, after drudging through the state's PDF list of contractors I ended up contacting one lead remediation firm, who strung me along for a few weeks before ghosting me by November. Then I found someone else, got a quote, took measurements, was all set before discovering they didn't have the "authorized deleader" certification, which would have prevented me from getting a certificate of deleading upon subsequent inspection. So I couldn't use them. Finally I called Peter in late February to come by and take a look by early March, which he did. Then Covid-19 happened and the world fell apart just a bit. Long story short, between waiting out the surge here in Mass and general pandemic related delays, we were back on track in the summer for taking measurements and able to order the windows. In the meantime, a crew was sent over to do some of the exterior work like wrapping the sills in aluminum. Peter's crew started the installation process literally the day after the windows arrived, which was the first week of November (storing them in my garage overnight). Be aware that you'll need to be out of the house for the duration of the work. Window delivery was a Thursday, they started work Friday, by Monday the lead inspector was back in, on Tuesday the results were back from the lab, and on Wednesday we were home. I will say that the floors were cleaner then we left them, and the windows looked great. Throughout this process, Peter either picked up the phone every time I called him, or called me back right after. He was always straight and open with me regarding when things were possible, the reason for any delays, and what potential pitfalls were. He was also extremely knowledgeable about government deleading requirements and could walk me through the details, which believe me, is something you want. And in the end when it came time to pay the final installment, there were no surprises. So if you want to save yourself a big confusing hassle and solve your lead paint problem, call Peter Larkin and let him take care of it."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in North-weymouth, MA

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.
