What is a Lead Paint Survey and Inspection?

Was your home constructed before 1978? If so, the interior and exterior may have been painted with lead-based paint. If you are pregnant or have young children, this could seriously increase your risk of lead poisoning.

Is lead paint in your home a cause for concern? Here are some easy tips that can assist you in determining whether you need lead paint testing for your house for lead.

Why Lead Based Paint Testing Matters in Homes

Although not all homes constructed before 1978 have lead-based paint, the older your home is, the more likely it is to have lead paint inside or outside.

If you plan to sell or rent your home, check to see if it has lead based paint. You must disclose to prospective buyers or tenants any knowledge you may have regarding the presence of lead-based paint or lead-based paint dangers in your property under the rules.

An inspection is the only way to determine whether lead paint is present in your home.

What's Involved in an Inspection for Lead Paint?

There are three lead paint testing procedures to determine if your home has lead paint. You may have done one or the other, depending on why you are testing.

Lead-based paint inspection

Any surface inside or outside of your home can be inspected to see if it has lead paint. It comes in handy, especially if you're preparing to paint, renovate, or have paint removed.

All painted surfaces inside and outside the home, including those covered in wallpaper, will be checked by an inspector. 

Without causing any harm to the paint, the XRF analyzes the lead content and offers a quick way to categorize painted surfaces as positive (containing lead) or negative (lacking lead) (no lead). However, samples of one to four square inches of paint are taken and sent for lab testing if the results need to be more apparent.

Risk assessment

A risk assessment identifies lead based paint in your home and assesses its severity and root cause. The paint that has degraded and painted on surfaces where it appears that a youngster has been biting, mouthing, or licking is next tested. In good condition, painted surfaces are not evaluated.

Typically, moist wipes are used to gather dust samples from floors and windows, which are then delivered with the paint samples for lab analysis.

Hazard screen

A hazard screen is a less complete version of a risk assessment. Homes with a decreased risk of lead danger typically have it done. An assessor gathers two samples of dust from windows and floors while inspecting areas of degradation. In most cases, soil samples are only taken if there is proof that the soil contains paint chips. 

Conclusion

You must use a licensed lead paint testing professional to completely remove lead paint dangers and safeguard your family's health. The paint must either be removed or enclosed with appropriate materials to permanently eliminate the dangers of lead.
