LEAD INSPECTION & TESTING



Lead is a toxic heavy metal. Lead can be found in all parts of our environment. Lead and lead compounds have been used in a wide variety of products found in and around our homes, including paint, ceramics, pipes and plumbing materials, solders, gasoline, batteries, ammunition, and cosmetics. Because its toxicity, lead is highly regulated by EPA, OSHA, HUD, CT-DPH and more agencies. There are several reasons you may need a lead investigation or lead based paint inspection at home.

When a child has elevated blood lead levels, or during a property real estate transaction, or buying a building insurance, or during a building renovation or demolition, or just for your own information to protect your family.

A lead investigation, lead based paint inspection, or lead risk assessment is regulated by EPA, HUD, CT-DPH and OSHA. The investigation must be done by a Certified Lead Inspector or Certified Risk Assessor. According to the results of the Lead based paint inspection and some building resident conditions may be mandatory to notify the results to the CT-DPH and the local Health Department, and further investigations may be mandatory.
