Our process
We understand the significant concerns that both business owners and residents have regarding lead exposure. Our foremost priority is addressing the health risks associated with lead-based paint. We recognize the valid concerns about property value and work diligently to provide thorough assessments and effective remediation strategies to mitigate the associated costs for remediation.
Compliance with lead-based paint regulations is a cornerstone of our services, ensuring legal adherence and peace of mind for property owners. We approach our inspections with a commitment to safety and the well-being of all occupants, providing comprehensive solutions that alleviate concerns and contribute to a lead-safe environment.
- Visual Assessment: Conduct a thorough visual inspection of the property to identify areas with potential lead-based paint, focusing on surfaces like windows, doors, and trim.
- Paint Sampling: Take samples from suspected surfaces to determine the presence and concentration of lead-based paint. This may involve using specialized tools like X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers or collecting paint chips for laboratory analysis.
- Dust and Soil Sampling: Collect samples of dust and soil from relevant areas, as lead-based paint can deteriorate into dust or contaminate the soil around the property.
- Testing with XRF Analyzer: Use an XRF analyzer to quickly assess lead levels in painted surfaces without damaging them, providing immediate results during the inspection.
- Laboratory Analysis: Send collected samples to a certified laboratory for in-depth analysis, confirming the presence of lead and determining concentrations.
- Risk Assessment: Evaluate the potential for lead exposure based on the findings, considering factors like the condition of the paint, likelihood of lead dust, and the presence of lead in soil.
- Report Generation: Provide a detailed report outlining the inspection results, including lead concentrations, locations, and recommendations for remediation or abatement.
- Remediation Guidance: Offer guidance on effective lead hazard control measures, including safe removal or encapsulation of lead-based paint and soil remediation.
