Lead –based Paint Inspections

The purpose of a Lead Based Paint Inspection is to investigate available records for the application of lead-based paint, inspect the structure for suspected lead based paint, sample and analyze suspected lead-based paint on the structure. Paint layer samples are collected from homogeneous type building materials covered with similar paints or coatings. The paint samples can be collected from the trim, door jams, window sills, walls, etc to characterize paint or coating system. The Federal Definition of Lead-Based Paint as defined by EPA is 0.5 percent lead (0.5%), which is the same as 5,000 µg/g, 5,000 mg/kg, or 5,000 ppm (parts per million).

The client is provided with the scientific findings of the test as well as recommendations regarding renovation or demolition in agreeance with Federal, State and Local guidelines.
