An inspection and/or risk assessment can save time, money, and health by revealing not just where lead is present, but also what the risk is and how to abate it.

Why You Need a Lead-Based Paint Inspection

Lead-based paint, found in paint made before 1978, poses a serious health hazard to everyone in the home, and children are the most vulnerable. Only a trained professional can accurately detect lead inside or outside the home. Inspections help ensure both the safety of residents and properties as well as compliance with current laws and EPA regulations, including the RRP Rule.

The RRP Rule imposes certification and abatement standards during renovations to protect residents and workers from potential lead contamination, with serious fines for non-compliant landlords, property managers, and contractors.

Any structure built or painted prior to the banning of lead paint in 1978 is very likely to have at least one coat of it that could be inhaled or ingested if exposed. Anyone living in an older structure, especially those planning a renovation, should schedule a lead paint inspection and risk assessment before beginning any work.
