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!
"Norman, was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. He explained everything he was doing through the process. I would highly recommend requesting Norman."

"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."

"I recently had an emergency electrical issue at my home, and I can't recommend JJ Palmer Electrical Service highly enough. The power was flickering throughout the house, my thermostat was fried, and I had no heat—a truly stressful situation. JJ responded incredibly quickly, arriving with a friendly demeanor and a professional approach. He worked diligently for nearly three hours to diagnose the problem, ultimately discovering that the issue stemmed from the power supply coming from the pole. Without any prompting, JJ took the initiative to call BGE and clearly explained the problem to them in a way I never could have. Amazingly, BGE arrived while JJ was still on-site, and he collaborated seamlessly with their technician until the issue was fully resolved. On top of that, JJ also replaced my damaged thermostat, ensuring everything was back in working order before he left. The best part? His pricing was extremely reasonable for the level of expertise, effort, and care he provided. As a new homeowner, finding trustworthy professionals is crucial, and I’m confident I’ve found my go-to electrician. If you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and genuinely invested in solving your electrical problems, I wholeheartedly recommend JJ Palmer Electrical Service!"

Toxic lead testings FAQs
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.
