"We are doing a basement remodel in a 1960's era home that had asbestos confirmed in the ceiling. Our contractor suggested we could save money by contracting the service ourselves. I contacted Protech Environmental through Angie's List based on the number of good reviews for this type of work. They responded quickly and told me what was necessary to get a quote. I figured out the sq footage of the ceiling area needed to be scraped off and Jason was able to respond quickly, file the necessary permits, and we set a date that worked for both of us. The workers arrived promptly as planned, did the work and completed the work on time. They walked us through upon completion. We were delighted with the ease of doing business with them, the good communication which addressed any issues we had, and they left the job site clean. The invoice was exactly what was quoted, no hidden fees or charges. Much easier than we expected, always a nice surprise."

"It went very well. Although the asbestos removal damaged the ceilings (as it was expected to), Rigoberto and his team were super responsive. He quickly got contractors in to fix the ceilings for a reasonable price. Both teams worked SO HARD and so fast - I was so impressed! They were fantastic, and I would certainly use them again if I needed to!"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Preston, WA

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.
