Lead Hazard Assessment

Lead Hazard Assessment is a process used to identify presence of lead-based paint and related hazards in a building, especially in older homes. Trained professionals inspect and test surfaces, often using specialized tools, to determine if lead paint is peeling, chipping, or deteriorating, which can pose health risks, particularly to children. The goal is to evaluate the extent of lead hazards and recommend appropriate actions to eliminate or reduce exposure. This assessment helps ensure a safer living environment by preventing potential lead poisoning from deteriorating paint or lead dust.
