Alabama & EPA Lead Safe Certified Firm

UPDATE: The Alabama Dept. of Public Health has taken over managing this program which requires any contractors or others working on Pre-1978 homes be certified by the states “Safe State Program” and they are no longer accepting the EPA certifications. We are also fully certified & accredited under their program. Unfortunately though their certifications & program (which must be as stringent or more than the EPA’s) looks like a three year old threw it together, so we are simply leaving the EPA certification & information up which is more easily understood by insurance carriers & adjusters.
