Lead Testing

Worried about lead paint in an older home? Our certified inspectors use state-of-the-art XRF analyzers to test your home on-site — no scraping, no guesswork — and give you a clear report for your family, your sale, or your renovation.
From a straightforward paint inspection to a full risk assessment or post-work clearance, we test to regulatory standard and give you answers you can act on.
We scan painted surfaces throughout the home with a handheld XRF analyzer that reads lead content instantly and non-destructively — room by room, component by component.
More than a paint check: we evaluate hazards from deteriorated paint, settled dust, and soil, then tell you exactly what needs to be addressed and how.
After abatement or renovation, we collect dust-wipe samples and confirm the area is safe to reoccupy — the sign-off your project needs.
Lead-based paint was banned for residential use in 1978 — so any older home is a candidate, especially where children live or work is planned.
Federal law requires lead disclosure on most pre-1978 housing. An inspection gives buyers and sellers the facts before the deal closes.
Disturbing lead paint during a remodel is regulated under the EPA RRP Rule. Know what you’re working with before the dust flies.
Children under six are the most vulnerable to lead exposure. If your home predates 1978, testing is the surest way to protect them.
Landlords and property managers testing to meet disclosure obligations and keep tenants safe.
A straightforward, defensible process from first call to final report.
Call or send a quick request. We confirm what you need and get a site visit on the calendar — often the same week.
