"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 Skelly came to the house for a scheduled appointment. He spent close to two hours carefully inspecting radiators, walls, ac unit, furnace room, etc. and took three air samples. He is very thorough and very knowledgeable, and really took his time - noting some things that he recommended that we do (clean ac vents, consider professional duct cleaning). The lab results were interesting in part because they didn't show what I expected them to, so we now have a plan to follow thanks to John. Important note: this isn't a remediation company, so I didn't have the sense that he was creating a case for selling me another service. Neutral unbiased information is always useful."

"He performed test in my attic, living space and outdoors. During this time he explained all about mold and what makes it grow along with how the tests are performed. He is very knowledgeable in his profession and you can tell that he enjoys his job. During his testing I had mentioned that I was selling my house. So after he performed the mold testing he asked if I would like for him to look around the house (basement and furnace area) and give me some possible problems. He did not charge me any extra for looking <br /> around my basement and furnace. He spend 90 minutes with me, the mold test only took 30 minutes. I never did sell my house but when I do I will definitely hire Larry to inspect my new home. <br />"

"We hired Iris to collect and test samples from pipe wrappings in our recently purchased home for asbestos. The tech that came out was polite, thorough, and communicative. The people I spoke with to schedule the appointment and pay the invoice were incredibly polite and prompt to reply, and the final report that they provided was incredibly detailed and easy to understand. Definitely recommend this service if you are testing for asbestos in your home."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Westport, 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.
