• Lead Testing

    Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, which can pose health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. Our lead testing services help homeowners and buyers assess the presence of lead hazards through:

    • Paint Sampling – Testing painted surfaces for lead contamination.

    We provide EPA-compliant testing methods and a full report with remediation recommendations if lead is detected.

    This service does not include:

    • Dust & Soil Testing – Checking for lead in household dust and soil around the property.

    • Water Testing – Evaluating tap water for lead levels.

  • Why Test for Lead Paint?

    ✔️ Health & Safety
    Lead exposure can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, behavioral issues, and organ damage—especially in children under six.

    ✔️ Home Renovations & Repairs
    Disturbing lead paint during remodeling, sanding, or demolition can release hazardous dust. Testing is essential before any project begins.

    ✔️ Real Estate Transactions
    Federal law requires lead paint disclosures for homes built before 1978. Testing ensures compliance and transparency for buyers and sellers.

    ✔️ Peace of Mind
    Whether you're moving in, renting out, or planning renovations—knowing where lead is (or isn’t) gives you control.
