Homes built before 1978 may still have lead-based paint on trim, doors, and exterior surfaces. We test paint, dust, and soil, and independently verify clearance after abatement.
Homes built before 1978 - the year the federal government banned lead-based residential paint - may still have it on trim, doors, windows, and exterior surfaces. Sanding, scraping, or demolishing these surfaces falls under the EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule and can release lead dust, which poses a particular risk to young children and pregnant occupants.
We test using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and/or paint-chip, dust-wipe, and soil sampling submitted to a laboratory. If lead-based paint is confirmed and an abatement contractor addresses it, we return to perform independent post-abatement dust-wipe clearance testing before the area is reoccupied.
Initial testing uses XRF analysis and/or paint-chip, settled-dust-wipe, and soil sampling of suspect surfaces, with laboratory analysis confirming the presence and concentration of lead in each sample.
Following abatement or renovation work, we perform independent post-abatement dust-wipe clearance sampling, with results analyzed by a laboratory against applicable clearance levels before the space is reoccupied.
The EPA's RRP rule governs renovation work that disturbs lead-based paint in pre-1978 housing. Testing before you start tells you whether RRP-compliant work practices apply to your project, and independent clearance testing afterward confirms the space is ready to reoccupy.

Our technician collects air, surface, dust-wipe, or paint-chip samples on-site, following accredited sampling protocols for your service.
Every sample is submitted to an accredited environmental laboratory for analysis - we don't estimate, we test.

Arizona has a substantial stock of homes built before the 1978 federal lead-paint ban, particularly in older neighborhoods around central Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa, where ongoing renovation and remodeling activity can disturb paint layers that have been undisturbed for decades.
Specific certifications, licenses, and laboratory affiliations render below once confirmed. All testing follows accredited sampling methodology regardless.
