If you
are remodeling a structure built prior to 1978, you may want to consider a 3rd Party lead dust wipe clearance examination
after the work is completed. Or better yet, have the paint XRF tested professionally
prior to beginning work. This is an EPA lead testing procedure which can help verify the interior was cleaned up properly,
and there is no trace of residual lead based paint dust. This is particularly important if there are children in
the home are 6 yrs old or younger, or if a child has an elevated blood lead level, or if anyone is pregnant. Lead is a neurotoxin to young children, and is proven to cause permanent brain damage.
Be sure to discuss lead based paint testing /concerns
with your contractor PRIORto signing the contract, and possibly withholding some of the
final payment until the home has
achieved a 3rd party lead clearance exam
through a dust wipe lead test by us, an EPA Certified firm.

Concerned with mold issues in your home?
Want an Indoor Air Quality Specialist
to check it out?
When your children or grandchildren come to your home, are you sure is it lead safe? Lead dust from 40-50-60 years of remodeling can remain in the home, and is virtually invisible to the
naked eye.
Have you looked for deteriorated paint? Or
possibly, if there is lead dust residue in the house from previous work performed over the many years?
A simple lead test / dust wipe testing,
xrf testing or risk assessment can help
you find out. The samples are sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Basement
walls, posts, attics, windows, radiators, closets, old play sets in the yard, garages, old clothes poles, or an old fence
can all be sources of lead paint poisoning.
Interstate Property Inspections Inc can provide you with a Lead Hazard Home Evaluation, including dust wipe analysis, for
as little as $200
