Lead Paint Testing & Services

Whether you are preparing to take on a small renovation or a large construction project, lead exposure is a necessary consideration that can pose several potential short- and long-term health risks. Therefore, it’s important that you take the proper precautions to protect yourself and anyone else involved. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 87% of homes built before 1940 contain some lead-based paint, while 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1978 contain some lead-based paint. Because lead paint was so popular for so long, contractors and property owners must be aware of the risks and how to mitigate them.

Lead testing plays an integral part in protecting you and your team from potential hazards. Understanding how to test for lead in commercial construction and renovations will ensure compliance with local regulations and the safety of those on-site. This guide will cover best practices when working in environments that may contain lead and how to minimize the risk of exposure for those involved.
