Remediation Question
Hi! I have purchased a house in Altadena. We have purchased blocks from my in laws who lost their home. My wife and I have purchased a home that is the only house standing on the street. The house survived but has not been remediated at all. The windows are blown out etc so we are taking it down to the studs. We have heard that some are doing testing once the house has been taken down to the studs and are still finding high levels of toxic debris. One of our friends kept getting high levels and found out it was coming from the sub floor. If we’re taking it down to the studs does anyone know what the risk is if we don’t test at that point? If we are putting all new floors, new insulation, etc. does anyone have any input on this? I feel like we should be ridding of lead and the risk etc by doing all of that, but wondering what everyone thinks. Thanks!
