Lead Testing
Lead testing is an investigation that tells if any lead-based paint hazards, which could cause harmful exposure, especially to young children and pregnant women exists in a building, its, severity, and location, including leads in soil and water, with suggested ways to control them. Lead in homes are mostly caused by deteriorating lead-based paints, hence you should carry out lead-based assessment when buying an old building, especially those built before 1974.
Our assessment report provide control options for whatever is discovered, which may be abatement or interim control or a mix of both procedures.
If your choice is to manage the lead-based paint, it will be important for you to inspect regularly to ensure safety and we advise that you hire only lead-safe certified home contractors when any work must be done that may affect lead because they’ll know how to work safely.
