Lead Testing
Our EPA certified lead inspectors provide lead consulting
services to private consumers, commercial and government
agencies. Our Lead Inspection and
Risk Assessment procedures include a thorough test for presence
of lead using state-of-the-art XRF (K-Ray Florescence)
Analyzers*, infrared photography and meta-data collection. Our
goal is to provide our clients with an accurate analysis of
their environment in the most cost-efficient manner possible.
Our analysis is provided quickly and efficiently. We test in a
Surface-by-Surface method, interior and exterior, for any
instance of lead beyond Federal guidelines (1.0mg/cm2).
Important facts regarding Lead
contamination/exposure:
- Childhood Lead Poisoning has been identified as the
#1 child health risk in the United States, reducing IQ
and causing a host of other permanent, serious health
effects. Adults also can suffer ill effects from
exposure to lead resulting in a myriad of health issues,
affecting their quality of life. Unlike other health
issues, lead poisoning is entirely preventable.
- The Federal Government has taken an active role by
formulating a plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning
by 2010.
- The "Residential Lead Hazard Reduction Act of 1992"
( Title X ) started it all with the Real Estate
Disclosure in 1996. That was followed by HUD's Lead Safe
Housing Rule in 2000.
*The XRF (x-ray fluorescence analyzer) method of testing is
quick, non destructive, and is the preferred method by HUD for
testing of homes and buildings. XRF testing is non-destructive,
fast, cost-efficient and legally defensible.
If your home or office was built prior to 1978, we urge you
to have it tested for the presence of Lead based paint and/or
hazzards. Contact us today.
