Frequently Asked Questions
Lead Testing & Inspections

Do I need lead testing before renovation?

Yes. If your home or building was built before 1978, lead testing is strongly recommended before any renovation or demolition work. Disturbing lead-based paint can release hazardous dust and create serious health risks.

Are homes built before 1978 at higher risk?

Yes. Homes built before 1978 are more likely to contain lead-based paint, as its residential use was banned in that year. Older homes may also have lead in dust, soil, or plumbing components.

What types of lead testing are available?

We offer comprehensive lead testing, including lead paint inspections, dust wipe sampling, soil testing, water testing, and laboratory analysis to accurately identify lead hazards in your property.

How long does lead testing take?

Most lead inspections take between 1–3 hours, depending on the size of the property and the number of samples required. Laboratory results are typically available within a few business days.
