"Greg called me back right away and scheduled the inspection, coordinating with my real estate agent.   He was very thorough in his evaluation, and saw several things that we missed during our 2 visits when we looked at the house.  I also should say that I own several rental properties, and Greg's inspection was one of the most thorough and professional I have seen. Since we have now owned the house for about 2 years, I can say that there is nothing that he missed.  We were able to make the suggested repairs, and we have not had to do anything else since buying the property.   I have recommended Greg to several friends, and will continue to use him in the future. <br />"

"THEY COULDN'T DO THE WORK RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF AN OVERLOAD IN THEIR WORKLOAD AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE WHO WAS LICENSED TO DO THE WORK. THEY WERE VERY HONEST AND UP FRONT AND THEY GAVE ME A COUPLE OF OTHER RESOURCES TO TRY."

"I had called several lab companies, prior to finding Andy at Cierra Environmental and they did not even call me back. I was referred to Cierra Environmental from a mold remediation company. His credentials are amazing! He was absolutely wonderful to work with, as well as a great friend during a most difficult and stressful time in our life. He gave me alot of phone time as well, regarding all of the lab testing. Because the lab testing the results were coming in at different times. He was extremely thorough which was very important to me for health reasons. During our process with him I was also working on a fundraiser for my son's dad who was having an organ transplant. Andy was very generous in donating to that as well. He truly has a heart of gold. His pricing was very reasonable and his work ethics are extremely high and professional. I would definitely recommend Cierra Environmental and also use his service again if needed. He also does mold remediation as well, even though I had already found someone before."

"The man I talked to (Terry, I think) kindly took time to explain the process of asbestos removal to me, knowing full well that he would not be receiving my business (due to location). He provided many details and suggestions for what would be needed, different methods of removal, price estimates, and he explained what was required by law. <br /> I would have felt very confident using American Abatement if they serviced my area. <br />"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Painesville, OH

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.
