Our lead-based paint inspection services promote clients to proactively address lead hazards, protect the health of occupants, and make informed decisions regarding maintenance or renovation projects.
Visual Inspection: Conducting a visual examination of the property to identify areas with potential lead-based paint hazards, which includes observing painted surfaces, both interior and exterior, for deteriorated or peeling paint.
Sampling and Testing: Collecting paint samples from various surfaces using established protocols. The samples are then sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis to determine the presence and concentration of lead in the paint.
Risk Assessment: Assessing the risk of lead exposure based on the condition of lead-based paint and its potential for deterioration.
Identification of Lead Hazards: Pinpointing specific lead hazards, such as lead dust or lead-contaminated soil, that may pose a risk to occupants. This step consists of assessing factors such as friction surfaces, impact surfaces, and other conditions that can contribute to lead exposure.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations governing lead-based paint inspections.
Documentation and Reporting: Maintaining detailed documentation of the inspection process, including visual assessments, sampling results, risk assessments, and any identified lead hazards. Providing clients with comprehensive reports outlining the presence and condition of lead-based paint.
Remediation Recommendations: Offering recommendations for lead hazard control or remediation based on the inspection findings and options for paint stabilization, encapsulation, or complete removal of lead-based paint.
