Lead Inspections

Protect Your Family from Hidden Lead Hazards

Homes built before 1978 likely contain lead-based paint. When paint deteriorates, is sanded, or is disturbed during renovation, lead dust becomes a serious health hazard - especially for young children. Our EPA-certified inspectors identify lead hazards so you can take action before exposure occurs.

XRF Paint Analysis

Non-destructive testing reads lead content through multiple paint layers instantly without damaging surfaces.

Dust Wipe Sampling

Surface dust samples from floors, windowsills, and troughs measure lead contamination in living spaces.

Child-Occupied Facilities

Specialized inspections for daycare centers, schools, and homes with young children per EPA and HUD standards.

Pre-Renovation Surveys

Required EPA RRP compliance testing before disturbing painted surfaces in pre-1978 buildings.

Compliance & Protection

Legal Requirements You Can't Afford to Ignore

Federal law requires lead disclosure for all pre-1978 housing sales and rentals. The EPA RRP Rule mandates certified lead-safe practices for any renovation disturbing more than 6 square feet of painted surface. Violations carry fines up to $37,500 per day. Our testing keeps you compliant and protected.

Daycare & School Compliance

Mandatory testing for child-occupied facilities where even low lead levels pose serious developmental risks.

Rental Property Disclosure

Testing and documentation to meet federal lead disclosure requirements for landlords and property managers.

Renovation Clearance

Post-renovation dust wipe testing to confirm lead-safe work practices were followed and the space is clear.

Risk Assessment Reports

Comprehensive risk assessments that go beyond testing to evaluate the condition and hazard level of every lead surface.

We had a bad leak that caused big mold problems, and since our house is older, we were worried about asbestos and lead too. They jumped on it fast tested everything, explained it all clearly, and took care of the whole cleanup safely. They worked great with our restoration guys, kept our house protected, and cleaned up perfectly every day. The final test showed our home is totally safe and healthy now. They made a scary situation way less stressful. Super professional and really good at what they do! 5 stars – I highly recommend them! Thanks for making our house feel safe again!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners and property managers.

Lead testing is required before renovation of homes built before 1978, for HUD-funded housing, and when children show elevated blood lead levels. It's recommended for any pre-1978 property purchase.
We use XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analyzers for instant, non-destructive readings on painted surfaces, supplemented with dust wipe samples and paint chip analysis for laboratory confirmation.
While lead-based paint is the most common source, lead can also be found in soil near older buildings, plumbing solder in pre-1986 homes, and dust from deteriorating paint.
Lead is especially harmful to children under 6, causing developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems. Adults face risks including high blood pressure and kidney damage.
Cost depends on property size, number of surfaces tested, and sampling methods needed. Call (480) 307-5582 for a free consultation and quote.
We provide options based on condition: intact lead paint may be managed in place, deteriorating paint may need encapsulation, and renovation projects require full lead-safe work practices or abatement. See our post-clearance testing for verification after lead work.
