Lead Inspection

Discover if you have dangerous levels of lead in your home with a lead inspection

As a naturally occurring toxic metal, lead can be extremely dangerous with long term exposure. Lead is particularly dangerous for children since it can have serious effects on the development of the brain and nervous system. Adults are also not safe since lead exposure can increase the risk of high blood pressure and kidney damage. This makes it unfortunate that many building materials, particularly before 1978, contain lead.

If you think your home might have lead, especially if you have young children, then you should get a lead inspection from a certified contractor. This will let you identify if your home is at risk and if you need lead abatement.

Why might you want a lead inspection?

  • Children: Lead poisoning is most dangerous with children. If you have a home built before 1978, it’s a good idea to have the home inspected to make sure it will be safe for you and your children. Additionally, should one of your children actually be diagnosed with lead poisoning you should immediately have your home inspected to identify the cause of the lead.
  • Remodel: When you remodel your home, you often disturb many building materials, including any lead based paint and other materials that could contain lead. By disturbing these materials, you can potentially generate dust and chips that will increase your exposure to lead. That’s why it’s best you have the home inspected before any remodel.
  • Buying a home: If you are buying a home, federal law allows you the opportunity to conduct testing to determine if the home has lead based paint and related hazards. It’s a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity, especially if you have young children.
