If you are a homeowner working on a project that will disturb painted surfaces, you may want to have the paint tested for lead. We can perform testing on any painted surface with our x-ray florescence analyzer (XRF).
-
If you have any concerns regarding lead in your household dust, water, or even the soil outside in your yard, we can collect samples and send them to a laboratory for analysis.

Dust wipe samples are collected to determine dust-lead levels following lead-based paint abatement. In each room where work occurred, dust wipes are typically collected from the floor, one (1) windowsill, and one (1) window well. The clearance is mandatory for a family to move back into their dwelling after abatement.

When a property is found to have lead-based paint, an abatement plan as well as a management plan are typically developed. The abatement plan identifies surfaces with lead-based paint and actions that can be taken to reduce or eliminate the hazards. Any surfaces with lead-based paint that are intact and chosen not to be abated are placed on a management plan. The owner of the property is responsible for following the management plan and taking corrective actions as necessary (i.e., a surface with lead paint becomes defective).
