Why Lead Inspections Matter?

Lead exposure is especially dangerous for children and can cause long-term health issues. Many homes built before 1978 still contain lead-based paint, which can deteriorate over time posing a safety concern in your home. With a professional lead inspection, you’ll know exactly where risks exist and how to address them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Lead Free and Lead Safe Certification?

A “Lead Free” Certification involves a much more detailed and stringent testing process where all of the painted surfaces in the home are tested utilizing and XRF Analyzer. The goal of the testing is to prove that lead based paint does not exist within the home. Not all homes will qualify for this certification, and some may require significant remediation to remove the lead from the home. If the home qualifies, this is a lifetime certification. “Lead Safe” certificates are valid for two years and entail ensuring the painted surfaces of the home are well maintained. A home that does contain lead paint may still be eligible for a “Lead Safe” certificate if the proper conditions are met.

How to prepare for my upcoming lead inspection?

For “Lead Free” inspections special preparations are not necessary unless the home contains excessive personal belonging which would prevent areas of the home from being accessed. For “Lead Safe” inspections however some preparation is recommended. Homes in “Dust Wipe” municipalities should be cleaned properly, particularly the window sills and floors in the home. Homes in “Visual” municipalities should have painted surfaces inspected and touched up by a home owner prior to inspection. Damaged paint exceeding a pin hole or a hairline crack is often considered a failure requiring touchup paint.
