Killer Paint

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Was your home built before 1978? If you are remodeling or even have peeling paint, be careful. The old paint might contain lead. Lead was used as pigment to speed up drying, increase durability, retain a fresh appearance and resist moisture that causes corrosion.

It is a common misconception that children get lead poisoning by eating the paint off the wall or window seal. The most common way children and even adults get lead poisoning is from the dust and the flakes of the old paint that has fallen to the ground. They get the dust on their hands or objects and then put them in their mouths. The old paint chips from the outside of building also fall to the ground and get into the soil. Children playing in the contaminated soil can ingest the lead by getting the dirt onto their hands and then putting their hands in their mouths.

The symptoms that children who have lead poisoning are: sluggish behavior, apathy, headaches, staring periods, tremors, seizures, loss of consciousness, abdominal cramps, loss of appetite, constipation, irritability, hyperactive behavioral. Lead poisoning in children causes nervous system damage, stunt their growth and delay development,

Adults can also be affected by lead poisoning. It can cause reproductive problems, high blood pressure, kidney and digestive problems, nerve disorders, memory and concentration problems, muscle or joint pain.

The EPA has a ruling that starting in April of 2010, contractors have to be must certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Leinbach Services Inc. has just been such a blessing to our family! We purchased an 18 yo Foreclosure with 4, yes count them 4 HVAC systems. Right away I had a plumber, an electrician and an HVAC system person come out to do some work and check out the house. Then, I had some little things that needed attention at our new home the Foreclosure home and my old home that we’re in the process of selling. I decided to give Leinbach Services Inc. a try figuring this would be the situation for a few months needing little repairs here and there. So, Jeff an electrician came out to our old house to repair an outlet and he overheard me talking to my Realtor about a buckle she and a prospective buyer saw on the roof. My husband had a fella set up to put on our chimney cap that had blown off in the storms but that fella was trying to work it out with someone to bring over a taller ladder and it hadn’t worked out. My husband and I were discussing which roofing company to hire, and Jeff offered to fix it. Have you ever heard of an electrician that will get up on your roof and replace your chimney cap? I almost had a stroke on the spot I was so delighted! So of course it was the clear choice to ask Jeff if he would put in my new thermostats in the foreclosed house. He said he’d have Steve, the HVAC person give me a call to help me choose the best thermostats for our family situation. I have one child that likes to keep things really, really cold in the house. Steve called me that night, and made an appointment for Friday at 4:30 p.m. Steve is such a pleasure to work with explaining things that we should get done to preserve our aging systems whether Leinbach got the job or not. He also gave me some common sense tips on how to save energy but help my child be comfortable that likes it much colder in the house than the rest of the family. Steve noticed we didn’t have a filter in a return, and he asked do you need help with putting in the right filter? I said yes, because it seems we’ve got a bunch of sizes. Sure enough, he measured and we did have almost every size return! A few days later Steve was over to put in the thermostats and noticed a knocking sound. It was driving me crazy, but I forgot to mention it to him because I had so much on my mind. He fixed it! It’s like having a family of experts at your finger tips!

If you want a company that will go over and beyond and knows their stuff inside and out, then chose Leinbach Services Inc. My husband has been very concerned that such top rate “service” could be too expensive. However, we’ve found that Leinbach Services Inc. has worked within our budget constraints, and their pricing to be in line if not a better value than most situations. You won’t be disappointed. Obviously, customer service is their top priority!

Thank you Jeff, HVAC-Steve, Troy, and Handyman/Painter-Steve!

Troy came to repair some seams that had begun to show due to settlement. My husband tried but just didn’t do it perfectly, and Troy explained to us what he did wrong and just did a lovely job! Steve replaced our attic fan that wasn’t working in our foreclosed home, and will replace our attic stairs in our new home. He begins painting in the next week or so the house we have on the market and advised us on the best sealant to buy for around our windows in our new home to reduce our energy costs. So many of their suggestions you might read, or learn over a period of time via experience. With the Leinbach Service’s team you benefit from their years of experience. In the long run you’ll save money and a few headaches working with Leinbach Services Inc.!
