 Lead
Lead is so poisonous, even
tiny amounts of it in the blood can cause severe
problems - especially in children's development.
Estimates are that one million American children have
blood lead levels needing medical attention, and one
million more may have been mentally or emotionally
impaired already.
Found in paint, plumbing, dust, soil
and cooking utensils, lead poisoning is not only a
dangerous situation in many older homes, but can be an
expensive cleanup.
This test reports immediate results
of lead content above the safe EPA limit in the home via
a color test. Charges are for each area tested. |
 Radon
the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the
second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States
today.
Radon is an odorless. tasteless, radioactive gas that
emits from soil and usually enters your house through
cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home
traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may
have a radon problem. This means new and old homes,
well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without
basements
The Radon test requires 2 days of capture within a
suspected area and then 3-5 days for testing the exposure
rating. Your property is at risk if over the the EPA
maximum 4.0 Pico Curies per liter of air (4 pCi/L). |

Mold
People with allergies or asthma may experience skin
rash, running nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion,
and aggravation of asthma on exposure to mold.
Additionally, molds can produce mycotoxins, causing toxic
symptoms of
fatigue, nausea, headaches, and respiratory and eye
irritation.
Testing involves collection of samples and submission
to lab for results. Expect 3-5 days for final results. A
mold test should be considered whenever flooding, or
long term dampness or leaking is noted. |
 Pests
Our regular inspection of your home can alert us
to pests, which we will note and advise on
for further action. Evidence of bees, wasps, wood eating
insects and animals often comes up in thorough
inspection of a property, and we routinely advise our
customers on their next best course of action. |
