PROTECTING BY INSPECTING! Lead poisoning is no laughing matter. Worldwide, about 143,000 deaths per year result from lead poisoning, and lead paint is the most common perpetrator. You can prevent lead poisoning from taking a toll on you, your family, and your home by having your property inspected. Reliable Lead Inspection Services, LLC has helped countless homeowners across Baltimore, MD and the surrounding counties with their home lead inspections since 2014. The state of Maryland requires that all properties – including apartments, condos, townhouses, lofts, and single-family homes – built before 1978 have a new lead inspection certificate every time the property is rented or sold. Even if you’re not in the market to buy or sell property, it is always a sensible decision to have any home inspected before doing renovations. You never know what could be hiding in those walls! I can provide 24 hour results if needed. Available 7 days a week. MDE Lic #15208 Ask us about our Senior, Police, & military discounts!

Past reviews on Angie’s List (through 2016) May not reflect the company’s high quality performance under new ownership. I would recommend this PuroClean to family and friends."

Guardian Basement Waterproofing understands your basement waterproofing needs. We know how to detect the source of water intrusion and stop leaks before they happen. We help our customers reclaim their basements from water, mold and mildew by doing what we do best: finding and repairing the source of their water-related problems. Guardian uses only skilled and experienced technicians to do the job right the first time! As a basement waterproofing company with more than 25 years of waterproofing experience, Guardian stands behind its work with a Lifetime Guarantee. Additional phone number - (410) 484-9812.
"Avoid Guardian Basement – False Promises and Poor Customer Service Two years ago, I hired Guardian Basement to fix a water issue on the front wall of my basement. Joel came out, sold me on their system, and guaranteed I would have a dry basement. We also replaced two sump pumps and had the sump well dug deeper. The main selling point was their lifetime guarantee. Fast forward two years, and I have the exact same problem. Every time there is significant rain, water rushes through the same wall. I reached out to Guardian Basement, and Joel scheduled a time to check it out. His tone was completely different this time—defensive and dismissive. Within five minutes, he claimed, “Your system is clogged.” He made this assessment without any real inspection—just by looking at the cement floor and wall. Now, here’s the catch: If you look closely at their so-called lifetime warranty, clogs are not covered. So despite spending thousands of dollars, I’m back to square one. To make matters worse, Joel was incredibly condescending and unpleasant to deal with. After this experience, I looked into their licensing with the state of Maryland and found multiple complaints against them. I am now in the process of submitting my own complaint as well. I would never recommend Guardian Basement to anyone. Save your money and go with a company that truly knows what they are doing and stands behind their work. If I could give them a negative number of stars I would."

Homes built before the 1980s probably contain lead since the U.S. government banned it from consumer use only in 1978. Before this, products such as paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and gasoline often used lead-based paint. If you live near an industrial area, pay for the cost to test the soil around your home for elevated levels.
You can find lead in the air, soil, water, and homes built before the 1980s since it was widely used in the production of paint, gas, pipes, and ceramics. Children's growing bodies can be more susceptible to poisoning and are at a higher risk of exposure through hand-to-mouth activities.
According to the EPA, if children are poisoned, it can result in behavioral and learning challenges, lower IQ, hyperactivity, slowed growth, hearing issues, or anemia.
If your home tests positive for lead, consider the safety of children and the severity of your family's exposure and act quickly. Get a risk assessment if your family's blood levels test positive.
For every instance of lead, there’s a unique test and removal process. Reducing exposure to lead risks requires time and management. Mitigation techniques may involve hiring a pro and spending more than $1,000. Complete elimination always requires a pro and could cost more than $10,000.
EPA regulations require training and certification for inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement workers. The EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule also requires a certification for contractors who disturb lead as a consequence of work in the home. Inspection, assessment, and abatement costs $550, while the RRP certification itself costs $300.
Lead paint looks the same as regular paint, which makes it hard to determine if your home uses lead-based paint. You can only determine the levels through testing. If the old paint is deteriorating or flaking, get it tested.
