Homes and buildings built before 1978 often contain lead-based paint. When it deteriorates, the dust and chips can be harmful—especially to young children. Knowing where it is (or isn’t) protects health and avoids future surprises.

An inspection tells you if lead paint is present and where. A risk assessment looks at whether that paint is currently creating hazards (through dust, chips, or soil) and what should be done about it.

Before buying an older home, before renovations, when renting out pre-1978 property, or when a child has elevated blood lead levels and the source needs to be found.

We primarily use XRF analyzers—handheld devices that read lead content through the paint layers without cutting or scraping in most cases.

Exactly which surfaces tested positive (or negative), and—if a risk assessment was done—whether current hazards exist and practical recommendations for controlling them.

Not always. Intact, well-maintained lead paint on surfaces that aren’t rubbed or chewed is often manageable. The key is knowing the condition and location so you can plan properly.
