Lead Inspection
Protect your family from the dangers of lead-based paint.
If your home was built before 1978? there is a high probability it contains lead-based paint. While undisturbed paint is often safe, the moment you start a DIY project, sand a doorframe, or notice a peeling windowsill, you could be releasing toxic lead dust into your living space.
Why a “Simple Project” Can Become a Major Hazard
Lead paint hazards are often invisible until it’s too late. Most homeowners don’t realize that:
- Friction Surfaces: Open windows and doors can grind lead paint into fine dust every time they move.
- Renovation Dust: Standard sanding or scraping can contaminate an entire house in minutes.
- Deterioration: Once paint starts cracking or “alligatoring,” the risk to children and pets increases significantly.
Don’t Guess—Be Certain.
Before you pick up a paintbrush or a hammer, use our professional-grade checklist to audit your home’s risk.
What’s Inside the Free Checklist?
We’ve distilled complex EPA guidelines into a simple, room-by-room guide that helps you:
- Identify High-Risk Areas: Spot the “friction points” where lead dust is most likely to accumulate.
- Evaluate Paint Condition: Learn the difference between cosmetic wear and a hazardous lead breakdown.
- Prepare for Renovations: Know exactly what to ask a contractor or how to prep a room before disturbing any surfaces.
Peace of Mind is Just a Click Away
“Lead hazards are often missed until the dust has already spread. This checklist helps you spot the problem areas early so you can act before the damage is done.”
