"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."

"John was so helpful since our first conversation. He was able to schedule us a day after I contacted him. He was punctual to our time. In addition, John was extremely thorough in his assessment of the scope of our problem. He had a hypothesis of the possible culprit to our situation. We had a small leak during the winter in our heating system. He provided so much education and guidance of the next steps to do. We decided to complete additional air quality test in addition to mold testing. His reports are very thorough and straightforward. We appreciate all his guidance and suggestions."

"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."

"Excellent every step of the way. David returned my call quickly, quoted me a price to do the testing. He was courteous and professional and friendly when doing the test, assured us that he found no dangerous condition, and that he would call us back within 2 days with the test results, which he did. He then gave us advice on two easy steps we could do ourselves to remedy the situation. At every step of the way, David texted me to let us know his status, when he would arrive, etc. This company is excellent, in my experience with them."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Norwalk, 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.
