"We were selling our house and the radon test came back high so we needed quick and effective service. The appointment was scheduled a week from our call. The technician arrived on time and helped identify the best location for the system that was both effective and as aesthetic as possible. The install went quickly and he took the time to explain how it worked and what we should look for in terms of monitoring and maintenance. Overall, it was a good experience."

"Who woulda thunk someone would have such a passion for lead testing, but this guy does! He was on time, thorough, professional, and I would definitely recommend him. He was especially good at providing an education as he went - explained what he was doing and why, explained compliance with codes and laws, lead paint usage and effects, etc. I especially appreciated that he squeezed us in since we were under a tight deadline. Aside from the lead test itself, he was a very pleasant and interesting person and I was almost sorry when the test was over, but I guess it's kind of weird to ask your lead tester if he wants to stay for coffee!"

"We were recommended to Harvard Environmental by our realtor. We called them in a classic “first time homeowner DIY project panic” state of mind, and before even talking about scheduling a visit, they took some time to explain likely risks and soothe our nerves. A comprehensive inspection was performed and a similarly comprehensive report was delivered. Harvard Environmental then took time to explain each type of lead hazard present in our home, and helped us find a contractor to assist in the removal and remediation. Their attention to detail and responsiveness were very appreciated by two frazzled homeowners, and we very much recommend their services!"

"Alpine Environmental did an amazing job.  They took samples of our unique interior trim, took them back to their shop, and cut new lumber so everything looks the same as when it was built and exactly matches and lines up with the original pieces which were left in place.  Also, our house has few, if any, 90-degree angles, so the foreman personally cut and installed the chair rail in several rooms.  Everything came out perfectly. <br /> One regret:  We decided not to hire the painting company Alpine recommended.  We instead hired a company that had given us a significantly lower estimate.  They did an okay job, but they didn't always show up on the days they said they would, they took much longer to complete and---because they "ran into unexpected issues,"---they ended up costing a little more than the guaranteed estimate from Alpine's people, who were very experienced with repainting homes after the de-leading process. <br /> I have repeatedly recommended Alpine.  I have heard they also do non-lead-related home improvement projects.  I would hire Alpine again in a heartbeat. <br />"

"The work was excellent, including the scraping, painting and carpentry work. The crew was thorough, pleasant to work with and very responsive to our questions and concerns. They came out several times to make sure all the old lead paint chips were removed. I️ highly recommend Northeast Remediation."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Spencer, 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.
