Given the cost to repair and or replace a septic system in New Jersey, we feel very strongly that, an open pit inspection with probing of the drain fields, and uncovering of the distribution box by a qualified sanitarian or engineer is necessary. We work with several reputable septic inspection firms, and will gladly arrange an inspection at the same time as your home inspection, or you may wish to speak with them directly and arrange the inspection yourself. In compliance with the ASHI Code of Ethics, we do not receive any compensation from any of the other firms we recommend. Onsite Wastewater Management Program Lead Based Paint Lead poisoning has affected 1.7 million children nationwide. High levels of lead in the body can have permanent effects on a child's brain and other organs.
Neurological damage can show up in some children as learning difficulties and behavioral problems.
It turns out that children can get the lead dust into their systems in other, less obvious ways. The toxic dust can also be spread during repairs or remodeling. Children ingest the dust by touching dust-covered surfaces and then putting their fingers in their mouths. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission banned residential use of lead-based paint in 1978, but four fifths of the housing stock in New Jersey was built before that date. The new federal regulations do not require the seller or landlord to perform inspections, or to remove lead paint if any is found.
